Tc-Ethambutol Scintigraphy with Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography in Lymph Node Tuberculosis: An Initial Experience.

Purpose Of The Study: The purpose of the study is to evaluate Tc-labeled ethambutol (Tc-EMB) as a potential diagnostic agent in lymph node tuberculosis (LNTB).

Materials And Methods: A prospective pilot study was done at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. We included adult consenting patients who were diagnosed with LNTB and were either treatment naïve or had just started treatment.

Antibiotic scintigraphy in tuberculosis: A new horizon?

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major cause of death worldwide that can be effectively treated with timely diagnosis and treatment. With the advent of nuclear imaging techniques like Fluorine Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography (F-FDG) PET/CT, the diagnosis of tuberculosis, particularly its extrapulmonary forms, has received great impetus in cases where microbiological confirmation cannot be achieved. Although detection of mycobacteria either by staining, culture or nucleic acid amplification techniques still form the gold standard of diagnosis, newer diagnostic techniques are always welcome in the field which can expedite clinical management.

Post COVID-19 sequelae: A prospective observational study from Northern India.

Post COVID-19 sequelae are a constellation of symptoms often reported after recovering from COVID-19. There is a need to better understand the clinical spectrum and long-term course of this clinical entity. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical features and risk factors of post COVID-19 sequelae in the North Indian population.

Characteristics and outcomes of 231 COVID-19 cases admitted at a tertiary facility in India: An observational cohort study.

Background: Ongoing pandemic because of COVID-19 has spread across countries, with varied clinical features and severity. Awareness of clinical course among asymptomatic and symptomatology in symptomatic cases is essential for patients' management as well as optimal utilization of health services (in resource limited settings) based on clinical status and risk factors. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients admitted with COVID-19 illness in the initial phase of the pandemic in India.

SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR profile in 298 Indian COVID-19 patients: a retrospective observational study.

Background: despite being in the 5th month of pandemic, knowledge with respect to viral dynamics, infectivity and RT-PCR positivity continues to evolve.

Aim: to analyse the SARS CoV-2 nucleic acid RT-PCR profiles in COVID-19 patients.

Design: it was a retrospective, observational study conducted at COVID facilities under AIIMS, New Delhi.
