Abstract:
Several studies from the current 2022 monkeypox (MPX) outbreak have documented co-infections with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. We present a patient with MPX and secondary syphilis who failed to clear the MPX virus 30 days after illness onset despite a 14-day course of tecovirimat therapy.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...
