Mtb and other bacteria can also secrete extracellular vesicles, which carry characteristics and information about the pathogen. Here, we compare the concentration of exosomes and the Mtb antigen in exosomes of tuberculosis patients aiming to evaluate whether exosomes can be used as diagnostic markers of tuberculosis at different stages.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is characterized by systemic uncontrolled inflammation resulting from immune dysregulation secondary to various triggers, including genetics, infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignancies. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is an immune dysregulation phenomenon, in which an underlying rheumatological disease is present. We report a rare, interesting case of a middle-aged female, with a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flare complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), in which tuberculous meningitis (TBM) was the identified trigger.
