概括
结核性脑膜炎 (TBM) 的成年人中,特别是艾滋病毒感染者中,C反应性蛋白 (CRP) 水平升高,表明结果不佳的风险更高. 这种炎症标志物可以预测TBM患者的疾病严重程度和预后.
科学领域:
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
- 神经学 神经学
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
背景情况:
- 结核性脑膜炎 (TBM) 是一种严重的感染,具有显著的发病率和死亡率.
- 在TBM病例中,HIV的同时感染是常见的,这使得诊断和治疗复杂化.
- 预测TBM预后的生物标志物是指导临床管理所需的.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究C-反应蛋白 (CRP) 在TBM的成年人中的预后价值.
- 评估基线CRP水平与8周临床结果之间的关联.
主要方法:
- 招募了135名TBM成年人的队列.
- 测量了基线CRP水平.
- 修改的兰金尺度 (mRS) 评分在8周后进行评估.
- 进行了统计分析,以根据CRP水平确定不良结果的几率.
主要成果:
- 83%的参与者是艾滋病毒感染者.
- 基线CRP≥40 mg/L的参与者在8周的mRS得分≥4 (aOR,2.78;95% CI:1.28-6.04;P = .010) 的几率显著更高.
- 在对潜在混因素进行调整后,这种关联仍然显著.
结论:
- 反应蛋白 (CRP) 是结核性脑膜炎中可行的和可用的预后生物标志物.
- 基线时CRP水平升高可以预测TBM患者的临床结果更差.
- 测量CRP可能有助于识别高风险的TBM患者,需要更密切的监测和加强治疗.

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
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...

222
Cardiac biomarkers are critical in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing cardiovascular diseases. Routine measurement of specific biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) is common practice in clinical settings to evaluate heart function and predict cardiovascular events.
These markers indicate stress or strain on the heart muscle:
Natriuretic Peptides (BNP)
Cardiac myocytes produce these hormones in response to ventricular stretching...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
