Background Phylogeographic composition of M. tuberculosis populations reveals associations between lineages and human that might have implications for the development strategies to control disease. In Latin America, lineage 4 or Euro-American, is predominant with considerable variations among within countries. Colombia, although few studies from specific localities revealed differences in populations, there are still areas country where this information lacking, as a comparison Colombian...
To estimate the baseline to measure one of three indicators World Health Organization (WHO) End TB strategy (2015-2035), costs incurred by patients affected tuberculosis (TB) during a treatment episode and proportion households facing catastrophic (CC) associated risk factors, in Colombia, 2021.
Objective: To analyze the operational management of infection control plan (ICP) for tuberculosis in hospital care settings a city with high burden disease. Methods. An analysis was conducted 37 institutions providing health services Cali, by applying tool to collect information on implementation administrative, environmental and respiratory protection measures. Additionally, program design evaluation conducted. Results: Administrative measures were not implemented 65 % institutions,...
Introduction Tuberculosis (TB) remains a primary public health problem worldwide. The number of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) cases has increased in recent years Colombia. Knowledge M. genotypes defined by spoligotyping can help determine the circulation that must be controlled to prevent spread TB. Objective To describe using resistant and drug-sensitive isolates their possible associations with susceptibility first-line drugs. Methods An analytical observational study was...

Mycobacterium preregrinum es una micobacteria de rápido crecimiento perteneciente al complejo fortuitum que ha sido reportado como responsable casos micobacteriosis en humanos.Se presenta el caso por M. peregrinum tipo III, primero Colombia, paciente 17 años edad con endocarditis válvula aórtica protésica, implantada inicialmente estenosis subaórtica congénita insuficiencia y, posteriormente, relacionada la implantada. Un año después del segundo implante, presentó sintomas respiratorios y...
Nontuberculous mycobacteria can be saprophytic, pathogenic or opportunistic. The most common diseases produced by these microorganisms are the post-surgical infections due to anesthetic procedures, associated with catheters, disseminated cutaneous and pulmonary central nervous system that especially affect HIV patients. Identification of nontuberculous take several weeks even then, differentiation complex members is not possible.The PCR-restriction analysis (PRA) technique was evaluated as a...
One third of the increase in tuberculosis cases is attributed to spread HIV. In 2012, 1,397 HIV-associated were reported Colombia, i.e., 11.8% total cases. Molecular epidemiology tools help understand transmission tuberculosis.To characterize clinical isolates Mycobacterium derived from HIV-infected individuals, received at Laboratorio Nacional de Referencia Instituto Salud.This was a descriptive observational study. We analyzed 63 M. individuals. Identification, drug susceptibility and...

Introduction: The desire to improve one’s physical appearance through simple and economical methods has resulted in the indiscriminate application of modeling substances. As a result, iatrogenic allogenosis emerged as an increasingly prevalent disease Latin America. Objective: To describe epidemiological characteristics adverse effects arising from use substances group patients Cali, Colombia. Materials methods: We conducted retrospective review medical records who consulted for...
Introduction. Multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) is difficult to control, has high morbidity and mortality, demands priority public health intervention. In Colombia, MDR/RR-TB been becoming more widespread annually. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, over an 8-year period, number of cases multidrug-resistant in Colombia was close a thousand cases. Timely identification different risk factors for will contribute fundamentally systematic management.Objective. To...
Leprosy is an infectious, chronic, long-lasting disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and lepromatosis that leads to multiple clinical symptoms including skin manifestations, disfigurement, deformity, stigma disability.
