Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. It defined the history of respiratory symptoms such as wheeze, shortness breath, chest tightness, and cough that vary over time intensity, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation. A personal or family allergy factor most strongly associated development asthma. Our primary aim was to investigate interleukin-4 receptor α (IL-4Rα) polymorphism determine whether presence R576 IL-4Rα allele asthma...
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is a multifaceted disease that could potentially impact nearly all organs. Current global data indicate significant variation in the proportion of EPTB among cases, ranging from 15% to 53%. Clinicians India express concerns about efficacy cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) EPTB, as its yield frequently does not align with findings World Health Organization meta-analysis. Hence, present study was conducted evaluate diagnostic CBNAAT at...
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly characterized by shortness of breath, coughing or expectoration. Smoking the leading cause COPD development, but only a small percentage smokers develop symptoms, implying genetic component. Glutathione S ‐transferase enzymes are responsible for detoxifying cigarette smoke components. The role glutathione T1 (GSTT1) and S‐transferase M1 (GSTM1) gene polymorphism was assessed with susceptibility associated clinical parameters...
Tuberculosis is a communicable infective disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The most commonly involved organ the lung (Pulmonary tuberculosis), however, MTB can affect any other than lungs; in this cases, it known as Extrapulmonary (EPTB), which lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Patients with EPTB rarely develop ankle or foot arthritis, usually either misdiagnosed diagnosed very late, leading complications. Early diagnosis timely treatment are important prevent...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes an infectious bacterial disease frequently affecting the lungs. With two fatalities from (TB) occurring every three minutes, India has highest burden. The etiology of TB been linked to IL-8 and IL-4RA. Thus, impact IL4RAQ576R IL8 gene polymorphisms on susceptibility was assessed. 301 healthy patients participated in a cross-sectional study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism performed identify genotype +781 C/T polymorphism....
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic allergen specific, IgE-mediated hypersensitivity disorder which significantly impairs the quality of life in affected patients. Many aeroallergens and molds are responsible for AR. This study was conducted to find prevalence Aspergillus fumigatus skin patients AR by prick test (SPT). 150 clinically diagnosed visiting our OPD were enrolled. Skin f. done SPT all enrolled Chi square Student’s t-test applied statistical analysis. Out patients, 60 (40%)...
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the common communicable disease affecting human beings since ancient times. Though effective chemotherapy emerged during 20th century had raised hope towards eliminating TB burden, it still remains as a distant goal. Awareness about among close contacts active paramount importance in preventing its spread and promoting early diagnosis treatment. This study aimed to assess knowledge tuberculosis caregivers patients.Methods: was cross sectional that...
Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is often associated with tuberculosis, especially in a high burden country like India. We present case of an asymptomatic female, who had mediastinal and middle lobe collapse, both which pointed towards diagnosis tuberculosis. Patient was later diagnosed as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) on basis clinical, radiological serological findings. Hence, even background bronchial asthma, ABPA should be kept differential patients presenting
Abstract Introduction: When arterial oxygen pressure is < 60 mmHg and carbon dioxide normal or low, hypoxemic respiratory failure (type I) occurs. Acute patients who get noninvasive ventilation (NIV) had a much lower risk of morbidity fatality. Materials Methods: On 55 subjects acute (AHRF) with NIV support, an observational study was performed at tertiary care hospital. All the cases were assessed clinically along evaluation blood gas, ROX index, chest X-ray. Patient re-accessed end 24...
