Tuberculosis (TB) program, Damien Foundation Projects, Bangladesh.To summarize the outcome and its determinants of first treatment for multidrug-resistant TB using a standardized regimen consisting minimum 9 months.This was prospective, observational study gatifloxacin (GFX) based directly observed regimen, mainly with initial hospitalization. The 4-month intensive phase extended until sputum smear conversion. Patients were monitored culture up to 2 years after completion.Of 515 patients who...
Mutations in the gyrase genes cause fluoroquinolone resistance Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, predictive value of these markers for clinical outcomes patients with MDR-TB is unknown to date. The objective this study was determine molecular and breakpoints predicting second-line treatment M. tuberculosis treated fourth-generation fluoroquinolones. We analysed outcome data relation gyrA gyrB sequences MICs ofloxacin, gatifloxacin moxifloxacin pretreatment isolates from 181 Bangladesh...
A balanced perspective is advocated for the assessment and application of most recent oldest diagnostic methods pulmonary tuberculosis (TB)-the molecular Xpert® MTB/RIF assay microscopy acid-fast bacilli. We discuss their respective merits shortcomings identify threats that may hamper use in TB control. Neither test on its own provides all information needed diagnosis treatment monitoring. Considering aspects important both individual patient care disease control, neither seems 'better' than...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the occurrence of unfavourable treatment and safety outcomes double-dose rifampicin (RMP; 20 mg/kg/d, intervention) with standard dose (10 control) in a first-line tuberculosis (TB) regimen for smear-positive TB patients Bangladesh.DESIGN: This was randomised clinical trial. The primary efficacy endpoints were an outcome (death, failure, relapse or loss to follow-up) any serious drug-related adverse event (SAE).RESULTS: In analysis, among 343 control 347 intervention...
Background The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) burden has frequently been changing over time due to epidemiological and demographic transitions. To safeguard people, particularly women of reproductive age, who can be exposed transmitting this the next generation, knowledge regarding life-threatening needs increased. This research intends identify trends associated correlates “low” HIV among ever-married age in Bangladesh from 1996 2014. Methods We analyzed data derived six surveys...
To analyse 20 years of tuberculosis (TB) drug resistance surveillance, comparing conventional periodic random surveys with continuous monitoring, in Damien Foundation-supported districts Bangladesh.Retrospective study data on TB from five among newly registered patients vs. monitoring retreatment 1996 to 2016.Periodic and showed similar trends rifampicin (RMP) resistance; all smear-positives as denominator, prevalence new cases was found be at approximately the same level incidence cases....
Plants are an important part of urban ecosystems because they help maintain the balance nature and health environment. The goal current study was to explore vegetation in Karna-phuli riverside using conventional biodiversity matrices, including distribution species several diversity indices, like Shannon-Winer Index, Pielou's Evenness Simpson's Index. A total 528 plant belonging 376 genera under 115 families documented for first time studied area, among them 355 were medicinal species. Of...
