The steadily growing epidemic of diabetes mellitus poses a threat for global tuberculosis (TB) control. Previous studies have identified an important association between and TB. However, these limitations: very few were carried out in low-income countries, with none Africa, raising uncertainty about the strength mellitus-TB settings, many critical questions remain unanswered. An expert meeting was held November 2009 to discuss where there sufficient evidence make firm recommendations joint...
Contact investigation contributes to improving early case detection of tuberculosis (TB). However, its implementation in low-income, high TB burden countries remains limited. A multicountry survey contact policies was conducted evaluate the extent their implementation. Our results showed significant heterogeneity definitions and procedures, with over 25% unable provide a clear definition contact. Estimates indicate that routine globally could help quarter million cases. International...
Background The frequency of occurrence extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) has been increasing globally over the last two decades. In Morocco, EPTB cases account for 46% patients reported with a new episode (TB). Lymph node TB (LNTB) is most common form EPTB. line guidelines National Program, diagnosis mainly based on clinical evidence, including histopathology. Objective This study aimed to evaluate yield histopathology testing in LNTB. Methods cross-sectional, prospective was conducted...
We reviewed data collected from 1993 to 2004 as part of the routine activities national tuberculosis (TB) control programme (NTP) in Morocco. More than 1 million household TB contacts were identified approximately 200,000 investigations. On average, 77% screened every year; overall prevalence was 2.5%. The proportion cases registered 5.6%. This significantly higher children under 10 years and patients diagnosed with symptomatic primary complex. Performing contact investigations NTP services...
This study assessed whether training physicians on the Practical Approach to Lung Health (PAL) reduces drug prescribing and cost of drugs prescribed respiratory patients in primary health care setting. Data were compared before after general practitioners standard guidelines for case management conditions care. A total 56 practising 25 centres 3 out 12 governorates Jordan participated both baseline survey (n = 6260 patients) impact 2709 patients). Training PAL decreased by 12.2% number per...
Dear Sirs, We thank Bailey and Godfrey-Faussett for their thoughtful comments to our paper on defining the research agenda reduce joint burden of disease from diabetes mellitus tuberculosis (Harries et al. 2010). agree that there is a need better understand primary epidemiology these two pathologies, especially in sub-Saharan Africa other high TB-burden, low- middle-income countries where evidence base minimal non-existent, we authors pointing this out. The prime purpose expert meeting...
