We evaluated CD27 expression of non-stimulated T cells at the site of infection compared to peripheral blood of seventy-two patients (n = 72) presenting with symptoms of active MTB-infection.

- Scientific members of the Austrian Society of Pneumology emphasize the need for patient-oriented and cost-efficient respiratory care in Austria, focusing on various respiratory diseases and their environmental impacts.
- Key findings highlight the high prevalence of respiratory diseases linked to unhealthy behaviors, with a projection of increased disease rates but fewer hospitalizations in the future.
- Suggested measures include implementing screening for lung cancer and COPD, utilizing e-health solutions, enhancing patient education, fostering inter-professional care, and promoting outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programs.
