Massive hemoptysis is a fatal complication associated with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). It can lead to severe respiratory failure. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving technology that is rarely indicated for bleeding disorders. We herein report a 26-year-old man who presented with severe respiratory failure caused by massive hemoptysis with pulmonary TB. Transcatheter artery embolization was successfully performed with venovenous ECMO support. The hemostatic procedure allowed concomitant anticoagulant use, and neither bleeding nor thrombotic complications occurred throughout the clinical course. Administering the appropriate hemostatic procedure with subsequent management, including anticoagulant therapy, supported ECMO application in a case of bleeding.

Rhinitis is a common comorbidity in patients with asthma. However, the frequency of underreported rhinitis in asthma is not known. In this study, we aimed to assess the characteristics of patients with self-reported asthma and no self-reported rhinitis, as well as the extent of the underreporting of rhinitis.

Background: This study aims to identify risk factors associated with tuberculosis-specific mortality (TSM) in older adult patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and to develop a competing risk nomogram for TSM prediction.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study and randomly selected 528 older adult pulmonary TB patients hospitalized in designated hospitals in Henan Province between January 2015 and December 2020. The cumulative incidence function (CIF) was calculated for both TSM and non-tuberculosis-specific mortality (non-TSM).

The strategy of tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation is essential for enhancing disease detection. We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the yield of contact investigation for new TB cases, estimate the prevalence of TB, and identify characteristics of index cases associated with infection among contacts of new cases notified between 2010 and 2020 in São Paulo, Brazil. Out of 186466 index TB cases, 131055 (70.

Bacteria in the complex and nontuberculous mycobacteria may affect a variety of animal species under human care and pose public health risks as zoonotic pathogens. A case of sudden onset of lethargy and increased respiratory effort in a 5-y-old, intact female reindeer () under managed care had progressed to severe dyspnea despite aggressive treatment. The animal was euthanized due to poor prognosis.
