HLA-E/ specific CD4 and CD8 T cells have a memory phenotype in individuals with TB infection.
Front Immunol
January 2025
Leiden University Center for Infectious Diseases, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, Netherlands.
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest infectious disease worldwide and novel vaccines are urgently needed. HLA-E is a virtually monomorphic antigen presentation molecule and is not downregulated upon HIV co-infection. HLA-E restricted specific CD8 T cells are present in the circulation of individuals with active TB (aTB) and infection (TBI) with or without HIV co-infection, making HLA-E restricted T cells interesting vaccination targets for TB.

Disseminated tuberculosis masquerading as a psychiatric illness-A case report.

Department of Medicine, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Puncak Alam, Malaysia, Asia.
Unlabelled: Tuberculosis (TB) can affect any organ, and at times more than one organ in any sequence, in which case it is referred to as disseminated tuberculosis (DTB). We report a patient who presented primarily for psychiatric symptoms of three months' duration, which later turned out to be a case of DTB involving the central nervous system as well as the spine and lungs.
Case Presentation: An elderly lady with subacute onset and worsening behavioural changes of three months' duration was referred for exclusion of organic brain disease.
A blended learning approach for capacity strengthening to improve the quality of integrated HIV, TB, and malaria services during antenatal and postnatal care in LMICs: a feasibility study.

January 2025
Department of International Public Health, Emergency Obstetric and Quality of Care Unit, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Pembrooke Place, L3, 5QA, Liverpool, UK.
Background: The blended learning (BL) approach to training health care professionals is increasingly adopted in many countries because of high costs and disruption to service delivery in the light of severe human resource shortage in low resource settings. The Covid-19 pandemic increased the urgency to identify alternatives to traditional face-to-face (f2f) education approach. A four-day f2f antenatal care (ANC) and postnatal care (PNC) continuous professional development course (CPD) was repackaged into a 3-part BL course; (1) self-directed learning (16 h) (2) facilitated virtual sessions (2.

Department of Biotechnology, Manipur University, Canchipur, Imphal, 795003, Manipur, India.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to influence the activity of specific genes involved with the innate immune response to Mycobacterium; hence, they are crucial in tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility studies. The study aimed to investigate the polymorphism in the NOS2A (Nitric oxide synthase 2A) gene and its association with susceptibility to TB in the Manipuri population of northeast India. This case-control study includes 495 subjects- 220 TB patients and 275 control individuals.
