Disseminated tuberculosis and diagnosis delay during the COVID-19 era in a Western European country: a case series analysis.

Background: Disseminated tuberculosis is frequently associated with delayed diagnosis and a poorer prognosis.

Objectives: To describe case series of disseminated TB and diagnosis delay in a low TB burden country during the COVID-19 period.

Methodology: We consecutively included all patients with of disseminated TB reported from 2019 to 2021 in the reference hospital of the Northern Crown of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in PNPLA3, ADAR-1 and IFIH1 are associated with advanced liver fibrosis in patients co-infected with HIV-1//hepatitis C virus.

Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin resistance and liver fibrosis are prevalent in individuals co-infected with HIV type 1 (HIV-1)/hepatitis C virus (HCV), even after HCV eradication. Our aim was to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with advanced liver fibrosis in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients.

Design/methods: In a cohort of 102 participants, we genotyped 16 SNPs in 10 genes previously associated with NAFLD and the innate immune response and correlated the genotypes with liver fibrosis and fat accumulation.

Modelling the dynamics of tuberculosis lesions in a virtual lung: Role of the bronchial tree in endogenous reinfection.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that still causes more than 1.5 million deaths annually. The World Health Organization estimates that around 30% of the world's population is latently infected.
