Tuberculosis is an inflammatory disease of the lung parenchyma caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This research aims to find out the description of the diagnosis and management of adult pulmonary TB patients hospitalized at RSU Royal Prima Medan in 2020. This study is a descriptive study. This study is based on medical record data on inpatients with a diagnosis of pulmonary TB at the Royal Prima General Hospital Medan in 2020. The youngest patient was 18 years old and the oldest was 82 years old. The main complaint was shortness of breath (53%), additional complaints were cough (48%), symmetrical physical examination of the thorax (91%), positive sputum smear examination (72%), combined medical management of pulmicort + fumadryl + paracetamol + levofloxacin + OAT category I (72%), the longest length of stay was 7-8 days (38%), the shortest was 11-12 days (1%). In conclusion, pulmonary TB occurs more in men in the 37- 45 year age group (22%), the most complaints are shortness of breath (53%), and the most widely used combination treatment is pulmicort + fumadryl + paracetamol + levofloxacin + drugs anti tuberculosis category I (72%).

Aim : To Determine the seroprevalence of Human immunodeficiency virus infection among Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients in a tertiary care teaching institution, in Ernakulam district of Kerala state in India. Methods : Study was conducted in Respiratory medicine department and integrated counselling and testing centre (ICTC) of Government Medical College, Ernakulam With approval of IEC after getting written informed consent , a cross sectional study was conducted among 384 pulmonary TB patients who were registered under the National TB elimination Programme (RNTCP). Result :The prevalence of HIV among study population was 1.3 %. There was no gender difference while the highest age group less than 30 followed by 30-60. The major respiratory pathology among study subjects was consolidation (42.7%) followed by fibrosis(25.3%).Consolidation was a predominant presenting pathology seen in female pulmonary TB patients.The sensitivity of sputum smear against CBNAAT was 60.4% and specificity was 83%. Conclusion : The prevalence is low compared with the national average of 3 to 3.4 % HIV co infection among Tuberculosis patients during the study period.

The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical, epidemiological and bacteriological features present in 60 pulmonary tuberculosis patients who were also infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and to compare these with 120 TB patients who were not infected with HIV. The patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and HIV coinfection were mostly male (p = 0.001), showed a higher frequency of weight loss >10 kilos (p <0.001), had a higher rate of non-reaction result to the tuberculin skin test (p <0.001), a higher frequency of negative sputum smear examination for acid-fast bacilli (p = 0.001) and negative sputum culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (p = 0.001). Treatment failure was more common in those who were HIV positive (p <0.000). No higher frequency of resistance to antituberculosis drugs was found to be associated with TB/HIV coinfection (p = 0.407). Association between extrapulmonary and pulmonary tuberculosis was more frequent in those seropositive to HIV than those without HIV virus, 30% and 1.6% respectively. These findings showed a predominance of atypical clinical laboratory features in co-infected patients, and suggest that health care personnel should consider the possibility this diagnosis.

Background: There are scarce data on the prevalence and disease presentation of HIV in patients with tuberculosis (TB) and dysglycemia (diabetes [DM] and prediabetes [PDM]), especially in TB-endemic countries. Methods: We assessed the baseline epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with culture-confirmed pulmonary TB, enrolled in a multicenter prospective cohort in Brazil (RePORT-Brazil) during 2015-2019. Dysglycemia was defined by elevated glycated hemoglobin and stratified as PDM or DM. Additionally, we used data from TB cases obtained through the Brazilian National Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), during 2015-2019. In SINAN, diagnosis of diabetes was based on self-report. Logistic regression models were performed to test independent associations between HIV, dysglycemia status, and other baseline characteristics in both cohorts. Results: In the RePORT-Brazil cohort, the prevalence of DM and of PDM was 23.7% and 37.8%, respectively. Furthermore, the prevalence of HIV was 21.4% in the group of persons with TB-dysglycemia and 20.5% in that of patients with TBDM. In the SINAN cohort, the prevalence of DM was 9.2%, and among the TBDM group the prevalence of HIV was 4.1%. Logistic regressions demonstrated that aging was independently associated with PDM or DM in both the RePORT-Brazil and SINAN cohorts. In RePORT-Brazil, illicit drug use was associated with PDM, whereas a higher body mass index (BMI) was associated with DM occurrence. Of note, HIV was not associated with an increased risk of PDM or DM in patients with pulmonary TB in both cohorts. Moreover, in both cohorts, the TBDM-HIV group presented with a lower proportion of positive sputum smear and a higher frequency of tobacco and alcohol users. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of dysglycemia in patients with pulmonary TB in Brazil, regardless of the HIV status. This reinforces the idea that DM should be systematically screened in persons with TB. Presence of HIV does not substantially impact clinical presentation in persons with TBDM, although it is associated with more frequent use of recreational drugs and smear negative sputum samples during TB screening.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease attacking lungs, triggering damage, and pulmonary dysfunction. Host cytokine responses will influence tuberculosis manifestations. The main host immune response is cellular immunity, and Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH). IFN-γ produced by Th-1, is a major cytokine acting to eliminate TB bacteria through macrophage activation. Chest radiography has an important value for the diagnosis of TB, especially in negative sputum smears. Radiological manifestations depend on several factors including host prior to TB exposure, age, and immune status. Sputum smear is also important in diagnosing, and assessing response to treatment of adult pulmonary TB. A cross-sectional study, comprising a total of 36 new pulmonary TB cases at the Dr.Soetomo Hospital who met the inclusion, and exclusion criteria, were establish. Plasma IFN-γ was examined by ELISA. Chest radiography was divided into three categories based on the National Tuberculosis Association of USA. Sputum smear data were taken from medical records. There were significant correlations between IFN-γ plasma levels with chest radiography (r= 0.365; ρ=0.029), IFN-γ with positive sputum smear (r= 0.447; ρ=0.006), positive sputum smear with chest radiography (r=0.674; ρ=0.001) IFN-γ plasma levels could reflect lesion area on chest radiography, and sputum smear positivity. IFN-γ plasma levels, chest radigraphy, and sputum positivity may reflect a Th-1immune response, so the more severe level of diseases, an immune response Th-1 become more activated.
