A multiple skin test survey on 1200 children aged 8e11 yrs and on 1228 children aged 12e16 yrs was conducted. All (except 15 children) had taken Japanese BCG vaccine 5 yrse9 yrs before the study was conducted. Tuberculin positivity was 90% in both the groups. This was associated with very high responsiveness to many other environmental mycobacterial antigens as well. It was proposed that such high TST positivity several years after BCG vaccination may be due to responsiveness to group II antigen pre- sent in all slow-growing species.

  • The Proportion of Tuberculin Test Positive Patients
    International Journal of Medical and Health Research International Journal of Medical and Health Research ISSN: 2454-9142; Impact Factor: RJIF 5.54 Received: 25-10-2018; Accepted: 28-11-2018 www.medicalsciencejournal.com Volume 4; Issue 12; December 2018; Page No. 121-125 Original research Article: The proportion of tuberculin test positive patients among severely acute malnourished / moderately acute malnourished children registered with Anganwadi centers in Karad TU Dr. CD Aundhakar1, Dr. Raghav Kakar2, Dr. Harshada Tatiya3, Dr Madhura Karguppikar4, Dr. Aieshwarya Pradhan5, Dr. Tanya Varghese6 1 Professor, Department of Paediatrics, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Malkapur, Karad, Maharashtra, India 2-6 Residents, Department of Paediatrics, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Malkapur, Karad, Maharashtra India Abstract Background: WHO has declared TB to be responsible for more deaths than any other single infectious disease. The rate of infection is higher in malnourished children compared to well nourished children. India houses highest number of malnourished children in the world. The Tuberculin skin test (TST) is one of the investigations widely used as an important test for diagnosing tuberculosis. The present study is therefore done to maximise the detection of TB cases in SAM and MAM children by using TST as the diagnostic investigation. Objective: To study the prevalance of TST positivity in SAM / MAM children, registered with anganwadi centres of Karad Taluka. Method: It is a cross-sectional prevalance study involving all the children registered in anganwadi centres in Karad Taluka of Satara Distt. Results: Prevelance of TST positivity in SAM/MAM children was estimated to be 12.5% Out of the 4500 children, 104 were either SAM (42) or MAM (62).

Laatsch Faculty Member Marquette University College of Health Sciences MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS IN INDIA 2 ABSTRACT Mycobacterium tuberculosis, commonly referred to as TB, is responsible for causing about 630,000 cases per year of infectious diseases worldwide. Recently, multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has become an alarming public health concern. In addition, many developing countries lack effective treatment programs. India is one of those countries with a high prevalence of TB, seemingly affected by disconnectedness in their public health infrastructure. India, although a developing country, is still burdened with both chronic and infectious diseases, and there is a reactive public health system that must place focus on long- term effects of emerging resistant strains of TB. It is important to develop rapid drug susceptibility testing for quick diagnosis and treatment of monitored TB levels. According to a 2013 article published by Lancet, countries with well-run public health programs, supported by early diagnosis and access to quality drugs, have better treatment outcomes and compliance.

The effective management and prevention of this disease requires that it is detected early. Current TB diagnostic approaches, such as the culture, sputum smear, skin tuberculin, and molecular tests are time-consuming, and some are unaffordable for low-income countries. Rapid tests for disease biomarker detection are mostly based on immunological assays that use antibodies which are costly to produce, have low sensitivity and stability. Aptamers can replace antibodies in these diagnostic tests for the development of new rapid tests that are more cost effective; more stable at high temperatures and therefore have a better shelf life; do not have batch-to-batch variations, and Citation: Martin, D.R.; Sibuyi, N.R.; Dube, P.; Fadaka, A.O.; Cloete, R.; thus more consistently bind to a specific target with similar or higher specificity and selectivity and Onani, M.; Madiehe, A.M.; Meyer, M.

Arthur Kleinman, Byron Good Andrew James McDowell Troubling Breath: Tuberculosis, Care and Subjectivity at the Margins of Rajasthan Abstract “Troubling Breath,” the product of fourteen months of fieldwork, examines the experience of tuberculosis sufferers in rural Rajasthan, India.
