The year 2020 will likely be remembered as the dominated by COVID-19, or coronavirus disease. emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for this pandemic, can traced back to late 2019 in China. COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted tuberculosis (TB) care system, reducing TB testing and reporting. This attributed disruption services restrictions on patient movement, consequently increasing TB-related deaths. perspective review aims highlight intersection between TB, highlighting their dual threat identifying shared solutions address these two infectious diseases effectively. There are several commonalities tuberculosis, particularly transmission causative agents, (SARS-CoV-2) Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Both pathogens transmitted via tract secretions. that through droplets airborne particles, primary target is typically lungs. Regarding diagnostics, methods available rapid accurate detection.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health issue in Saudi Arabia, particularly impacting the elderly. Immunocompromising conditions, including comorbidities, malignancies, and use of immunosuppressive agents, are risk factors for active TB (ATB). Objective: To analyze clinical estimate mortality drug-resistant cases. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed medical records 12,494 patients at KAUH (2019– 2021), identifying 131 confirmed cases with comprehensive data on demographics, features, diagnostics, outcomes. Data were using SPSS, chi-square logistic regression factors. Statistical significance was determined threshold p < 0.05. In our study, employed to identify significant predictors among patients. The results presented beta coefficients (B) quantify relationship between outcome, along adjusted odds ratio (AOR) provide an interpretable measure strength these associations. Results: Of involved this paper, higher incidence pulmonary observed men under 30 years old. group also showed rate due comorbidities such as renal failure, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), autoimmune disease. heightened by 69.47% drug susceptibility. Additionally, 19.85% had multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB), 10.69% extensively (XDR-TB). Patients undergoing hemodialysis, those respiratory cancer, diabetes, smoking found have hazard, indicating TB. Conclusion: highlights TB's prevalence resistance KAUH, emphasizing high-risk groups, males young adults. Effective strategies, targeted interventions, future research vital reducing mortality.This examines stability tuberculosis disease presentation dynamic models treated King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) Jeddah, Arabia. Key findings include:This first across different demographic groups.Males, elderly individuals, cancer patients, or other death from TB.The emphasize need healthcare practices adopt "equilibrium state" method hazard assessment. Incorporating gold-standard approach into treatment plans can help improve control measures reduce TB-related mortality. provides valuable insights improving patient care outcomes, vulnerable groups.

ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19 are leading infectious diseases with high mortality, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) SARS-CoV-2 (SC2) , respectively. Co-infection is common but often undiagnosed as it challenging to process both pathogens from a single sample. In this study, we present simple efficient method for co-extracting nucleic acids (NA) these two distinct respiratory downstream diagnostic testing. We evaluated three different acid amplification (NAA)-based platforms, LightCycler480 (LC480) qPCR, Qiacuity digital PCR (dPCR), Cytation3 CRISPR-Cas13a-based SHINE-TB/SC2 detection assays. Chelex-100 chelating resin-based boiling preparation was optimized NA extraction saliva sputum. Saliva showed compatibility all sensitivity low 100 CFU/ml (or 2 genomic copies/µl). This worked well sputum using dPCR at 100% (21/21) positivity, though the CRISPR-based SHINE-TB assay more variability inhibitor carry-over, resulting in an 81% positive rate (17/21). Diluting TE buffer (1:1) improved (2/4). Extraction efficiency of our 48%, 62.2%, 86.4% 99.3% concentrations 10 5 4 3 CFU/ml, The dynamic range spiked pooled (N=8) ≥10 methods.

A total 456 M. isolates were studied submitted drug susceptibility testing genotyping. The modern Beijing genotype its main epidemic endemic clusters (B0/W148 Central Asian/Russian), ancient sublineage detected by PCR assays targeting specific molecular markers. Non-Beijing spoligotyped compared SITVIT2 database. More than 80% strains belonged genotype. Among strains, genetic B0/W148 Central-Asian/Russian (94–32) accounted for 94.2% pre-pandemic period 96.6% during group, 81.5% group. Moreover, ratio 94–32 was almost 1:1 (49.7:44.4%), pandemic—1.5:1.0 (57.9:38.8%), while shifted favor cluster became 1:2 (31.8:65.9%). In TB/COVID patients, forms chronic (fibrous cavernous TB, tuberculoma) with more active inflammatory destructive-inflammatory reactions (infiltration, dissemination, TB).

Our results are consistent reportedly higher ability (compared 94–32) acquire resistance anti-TB drugs, their increased virulence transmissibility. Thus, seemingly paradoxical, milder who further developed is explained a shift subtypes syndemic interaction two epidemics.
