In Africa, human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important pathogen in a diverse range of patient groups. Congenital CMV infection common, and most children undergo primary during the first year life. Preliminary studies suggest that these early infections could have population-wide effects on growth development. adults, seroprevalence close to 100%, but some found significant minorities adults are seronegative. common cause pneumonia meningitis hospitalised immunosuppressed groups, DNAemia may...
Introduction Targeted testing and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) are priorities on the global health agenda, but LTBI management remains challenging. We aimed to evaluate prognostic value QuantiFERON TB-Gold (QFT) test for incident TB, focusing interferon (IFN)-γ level, when applied in routine practice a low incidence setting. Methods In this large population-based prospective cohort, we linked QFT results Norway (1 January 2009–30 June 2014) with national registry data (Norwegian...
Abstract Background The key elements in tuberculosis (TB) control are to cure the individual patient, interrupt transmission of TB others and prevent tubercle bacilli from becoming drug resistant. Incomplete treatment may result excretion bacteria that also acquire resistance cause increased morbidity mortality. Treatment outcome results serves as a tool quality provided by health care system. aims this study were evaluate for new cases culture positive pulmonary registered Norway during...

Patients with advanced HIV infection at the time of diagnosis and patients not responding to antiretroviral therapy are risk cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease. Earlier studies have demonstrated that is often first made post-mortem. In recent years new molecular biological tests become available for CMV Although clinical evaluation disease in HIV-infected individuals suboptimal without autopsy, no results from such been published. The aim this study was explore diagnostic utility quantitative...
