Summary Mycobacterium bovis BCG is the vaccine against tuberculosis and an immunotherapy for bladder cancer. When administered intravenously, reprograms bone marrow hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs), leading to heterologous protection infections. Whether HSPC-reprogramming contributes anti-tumor effects of into unknown. We demonstrate that in both mice humans HSPCs amplify myelopoiesis functionally enhance myeloid cell antigen presentation pathways. Reconstitution naive with from...
Primary laryngeal tuberculosis is a rare disease with wide variety of clinical manifestations. We report the case an ear-nose and throat diabetic physician primary tuberculosis. The diagnosis cancer had been considered before in another institution, at patient’s admission, he only presented dysphonia six-month evolution. vocal cord histological examination showed granulomas, giant cells, fibrosis necrosis, Ziehl-Neelsen staining acid-alcohol resistant bacilli. culture from tissue was...
Tuberculosis is the single most frequent cause of death by an infectious agent worldwide. Diagnosis extra-pulmonary tuberculosis not always possible through conventional methods, due to long time required for cultures and paucibacillary nature samples; hence need rapid molecular methods. HIV infection increases risk tuberculosis, HIV/tuberculosis coinfection associated with higher mortality.We describe case a 56-year old mestizo male patient suspected having who consulted San Ignacio...
Tuberculous pericarditis is an infrequent but serious form of tuberculosis.Its diagnosis difficult and often delayed or not even reached, which results in complications such as constrictive with high mortality rates (1).In 2017, there were 10 million cases active tuberculosis worldwide 1.3 related deaths making the leading cause death by a single pathogen (2).In Colombia, 13,626 new reported during 2016 83% (11,338 cases) corresponded to pulmonary 17% (2,288 extrapulmonary while 37 (1.6%)...
Each minute, three people die of tuberculosis worldwide. Abdominal is an infrequent but serious form disease and can affect any abdominal organ. Being a health-care worker one the most important risk factors for developing (TB). TB transmission between patients health care-workers has been reported in virtually every country world constitutes big public-health problem. We describe case young female physician whose clinical presentation started with chest pain, initial workup did not show...
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an important fundamental cytokine during the immune response against cancer and infections such as tuberculosis. This molecule also plays a key pathogenic role in complex difficult-to-treat diseases rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis ulcerative colitis. The treatment of these frequently needs TNF-α antagonists, which has been related to increased risk developing tuberculosis, mycoses, other severe infections.We report...

ABSTRACT Alveolar macrophages (AMs) reside in the lower airways and play a crucial role lung health response to sterile inflammation infections. AMs possess remarkable adaptability different environmental challenges that can persist through their memory capacity (trained immunity). β-glucan has been characterized as potent inducer of trained immunity by reprogramming hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) bone marrow generating innate with enhanced responsiveness. In present study, we show systemic...

Introduction: Worldwide, three people die of tuberculosis (TB) every minute. The risk TB transmission among healthcare workers is up to 40 times higher than in the general population. Nevertheless, Colombia, little importance has been given this situation. Objective: To describe demographic and clinical characteristics with treated a university hospital from Bogotá D.C. (Colombia), as well their laboratory, histologic, imaging findings, main criteria for diagnosis. Materials methods: Case...
<b>Introduction:</b> Acute respiratory distress syndrome is responsible for 400,000 deaths per year worldwide. Despite five decades of research, no immunomodulatory treatment has been proven to be effective. Trained immunity (TI) the ability innate immune system reprogrammed by a first insult, without persistent inflammation, then providing an increased response second insult. The aim this study confirm that TI could protect from acute lung injury (ALI). <b>Methods:</b> twelve weeks old...
