Early screening of miliary tuberculosis with tuberculous meningitis based on few-shot learning with multiple windows and feature granularities.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Shandong Public Health Clinical Center, Shandong University, Jinan, 250013, Shandong, China.
Article Synopsis
- Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a severe complication of miliary tuberculosis (MT) with a high mortality rate, but early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve outcomes.
- Currently, there is no reliable way to predict which MT patients will develop TBM, prompting the development of an early screening model using chest CT images.
- The proposed model utilizes few-shot learning and a specialized feature extraction method to effectively identify potential TBM cases, demonstrating strong performance in experiments, and aims to aid clinicians in the early detection and prevention of TBM.
The challenges of an unusual case of miliary tuberculosis control: A case report from Syria.
Radiol Case Rep
December 2024
Pathology Department, Hama National Hospital, Hama, Syria.
Article Synopsis
- * The report details a case of a 39-year-old woman who suffered from a seizure; her normal chest X-ray delayed the detection of MTB, ultimately leading to severe health consequences.
- * It underscores the limitations of traditional chest X-rays in diagnosing MTB, recommending more advanced imaging techniques like chest CT or MRI, and stresses the importance of timely treatment, especially in developing countries affected by conflict and poverty.
Severity of neuromeningeal tuberculosis in Morocco: a critical evaluation of epidemiological trends and treatment efficacy.

Introduction: neuromeningeal tuberculosis (NMT) is a significant public health challenge in Morocco because of its acute severity and high mortality rates. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and disease progression characteristics of NMT in the Kenitra province.
Methods: a retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of patients diagnosed with NMT at the Diagnostic Center of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases in Kenitra from 2014 to 2017.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a prominent infectious disease globally that imposes a substantial health burden. Genital TB (GTB), an extrapulmonary manifestation, leads to complications such as tubal adhesions, blockage, and diminished ovarian function, culminating in infertility, and is recognized as a prevalent cause of infertility in nations with high-burden TB. In regions with low TB rates, infertility and active TB during pregnancy have been reported to be most common among female immigrants from countries with high-burden TB.
