▼ Ray blight (Stagonosporopsis tanaceti) is a major biotic constraint for pyrethrum production in Australia. The biology and host-pathogen interaction of S. tanaceti in seed, seedlings and mature pyrethrum plants were studied in glasshouse experiments. Molecular detection and quantification of infection within pyrethrum tissues were determined using TaqMan PCR. Direct penetration into the epidermal cells of leaves resulted in the development of brown to black necrotic lesions. Hyphae of S. tanaceti then colonised the cortical tissues intra- and intercellularly resulting in degradation of tissues and deposition of extra-cellular material in necrotic cells. Pycnidia formed within 12 days after infection in the epidermis and hypodermis of pyrethrum leaves. Quadruple staining technique was more suitable than single or dual staining for visualising fungal hyphae within the tissue because the combination of four stains enabled the hyphae to stain blue-green in contrast to the cell tissues. Stagonosporopsis tanaceti infected only the seed coat and not the embryo with infected seed being symptomless and not deformed or discoloured. After germination, S. tanaceti infected the embryonic tissues in the seed coat and depending on the level of infection of these tissues, resulted in pre-emergence and post-emergence damping off. Degradation of whole embryonic tissues by S. tanaceti resulted in pre-emergence death while disintegration of hypocotyl/crown tissues resulted in post-emergence death. Some of the infected embryos developed into seedlings with S. tanaceti being present in the hypocotyl/ crown tissues without these tissues showing visible symptoms thus indicating a latent stage in the life cycle of the pathogen. Stagonosporopsis tanaceti infected the cauline and petiolate leaves, crown tissues, flower stems, flower buds and rays of the flower but not the roots of pyrethrum plants. The necrotic region of flower stems extended from the peduncle to 8-11 cm down the flower stems where the epidermis, hypodermis and cortical tissues were degraded. Pycnidia that developed in the necrotic tissue of flower stems released pycnidiospores, which dispersed through wind and water-splash and then presumably settled onto the flower buds and infected the flower rays before infecting the developing seed. Pycnidia that also formed on the infected foliage released pycnidiospores that were then deposited, by water splash dispersal to the region of the crown tissue where the petioles emerged. At this point the spores germinated and infected the parenchyma cells of the hypodermis and cortical tissues of the crown. Throughout the infection cycle, vascular tissues of all plant organs were not colonised with the endodermis acting as a barrier to hyphal infection. The results of the infection and colonisation of various plant tissues has enabled a complete disease cycle of ray blight in pyrethrum to be described. The effect of S. tanaceti on growth and development of pyrethrum was studied in two glasshouse trials where the first trial…

▼ Introduction: Despite management advances worldwide, tuberculosis still remains a serious uncontrolled disease. The absence of either a ‘gold’ standard diagnostic test, or a conventional rapid ‘reference’ laboratory test for asymptomatic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) carriers complicates disease control. Through mandatory screening of high-risk groups, early diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) cases allows recognition and better control of the tuberculosis pandemic. Materials and Methods: The current tuberculosis screening guidelines as recommended by the World Health Organization, chest X-ray and tuberculin skin test were assessed and revealed rises in TB morbidity and fatality trends in the Kuwait population (low incidence country). In order to evaluate options for LTBI diagnosis, the current work implemented a 4-month prospective, observational, repeated-measure and randomly implemented survey on 180 new immigrants to Kuwait using a structured risk factor questionnaire whilst, simultaneously evaluating the performance of the two standard diagnostics (chest X-ray and tuberculin skin test) with the new biomarker interferon gamma release assays (T-SPOT .TB test and QuantiFERON Gold In-Tube test (QNF-GIT)); which detect the release of interferon gamma (INF-γ) released from sensitization to specific MTB antigens. Results: Associations between various epidemiological risk factors - such as socio-demographic status, smoking and environmental exposure-contact - were associated in the laboratory diagnosed LTBI participants. Positive identification of LTBI prevalence detected by two radiologists was 10.1% having ‘moderate’ inter-reader agreement (Kappa = 0.505), compared to no positives being detected by three pulmonologists. TST results were negative (less than 10-mm ‘cut-off’) even in the 86.1% Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccinated expatriates. Estimated LTBI using QNFGIT was 28.3% compared to 41.1% positive T-SPOT .TB test. Both interferon gamma assays revealed concordant ‘abnormal’ results in 26.1% with ‘good’ agreement (kappa = 0.627). Conclusion: Detection of latent tuberculosis infection can be facilitated by introducing evidence-based diagnostic classification depending on history taking of epidemiological-related risk factors and chest X-ray plus either interferon gamma assays.

▼ Objective: To summarize and quantify the dose-response relationship between interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) levels and the risk of progression to active tuberculosis (TB) Design: Systematic review and Bayesian dose-response meta-regression Data sources: PubMed and Embase from 2001 to 10 May 2020, and references from relevant systematic reviews. Eligibility criteria and data analysis: Retrospective or prospective cohort studies and clinical trials that followed individuals over time to assess the relationship between IGRA levels and risk of developing TB were included. Study results related to incident TB were extracted and two authors independently assessed the quality of included studies using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Data were pooled using a novel Bayesian meta-regression method to generate a dose-response risk curve. Results: 34 of 1,074 identified studies met the criteria for inclusion in the analysis. Higher levels of interferon-gamma were associated with increased risk of progression to active tuberculosis. In the dose-response curve, the risk increased sharply between interferon-gamma levels 0 and 5 IU/ml, after which the risk continued to increase moderately but at a slower pace until reaching about 15 IU/ml where the risk levels off. Compared to 0 IU/ml, the relative risk of progression to active TB among those with interferon-gamma levels of 0.35, 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 IU/ml were: 1.67 (1.30 – 2.13), 2.91 (2.12 – 3.96), 10.13 (5.57 – 14.57), 16.42 (11.07 – 23.44), 19.11 (13.01 – 27.82), and 19.65 (13.52 – 28.82), respectively. The dose-response relationship remains consistent when limiting the analysis to studies that scored high in the NOS. Conclusions: The current practice of dichotomizing IGRA test results simplifies the TB infection disease continuum. Evaluating the IGRA test results over a continuous scale could enable the identification of individuals at greatest risk of progression to active TB.

▼ Abstract Background: According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tuberculosis (TB) report TB case rate dropped from 3.2 to 3.0 per 100,000 person in 2013 in the U.S, which was a 4.3% decrease from 2012, but the proportion of total cases occurring in foreign-born persons reached to 65% of the national case total. This proportion has been increasing since 1993. Studies found that progression of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) to active TB (reactivation TB) contributed a large proportion to TB cases among foreign-born persons and posed a huge challenge to TB elimination in the U.S. The Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) in CDC provides Tuberculosis Screening and Treatment Technical Instructions (TB TI) for U.S.-bound immigrant and refugee overseas medical screening. The 2007 TB TI made several changes to enhance overseas medical screening for TB. One of them is requiring applicants aged 2-14 years who live in countries with a World Health Organization (WHO)-estimated TB incidence rate equal or higher than 20 cases per 100,000 population to have a tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) to detect TB/LTBI. Objectives: To assess LTBI prevalence among immigrant and refugee children aged 2-14 years who arrived in the United States in 2008-2012 and to explore demographic and geographic predictors among LTBI cases. Methods: Using DGMQ data from 2008-2012, LTBI prevalence was calculated. Regression analyses were used to examine predictors of LTBI risk based upon geographic and select demographic characteristics (country of origin, sex, country-specific LTBI prevalence rate). Results:LTBI prevalence of all 199 immigrant and refugee arrival countries vs top 16 arrival countries were 6.30% and 8.76%, respectively. Top 16 arrival countries contributed to 68.40% arrivals but contributed to 95.08% of LTBI cases. LTBI prevalence of both populations showed an increasing trend in 2008-2012. The highest five prevalence countries were the Philippines (42.74%) Vietnam (9.35%), Mexico (8.71%), Bhutan (8.31%) and China (7.80%). Regression coefficient estimates (i.e., log odds) for country of origin predictor were significant (p Conclusions: Diagnosing and treating LTBI and continuing the battle against TB globally are critical to TB elimination in the U.S. 2007 TB TI has contributed to detecting LTBI cases, should be implemented vigorously in immigrant and refugee overseas medical screening. Receiving states should address their follow-up gaps to ensure the completion of TB/LTBI treatment. Resources need to be allocated properly to states with high TB/LTBI burden.

▼ Background: HIV-infected women have increased risk of reactivation of latent TB infection, making screening crucial. There are limited guidelines for latent TB screening in India. There is need to study the two available tests, which are known to be compromised in this population - Tuberculin Skin test (TST) and Quantiferon Gold-in-Tube assay (QGIT). Thus, our aim was to evaluate the performance of these two tests in two facilities – Antenatal Clinic (ANC) and Antiretroviral Therapy Center (ARTC). Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional study of HIV-infected women seeking care at the ANC and ARTC within a government hospital in Pune, India. Trained staff administered sociodemographic/medical history questionnaires before TST and QGIT testing. The percent positivity, percent agreement between tests results and kappa statistic, were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression was used to study risk factors for TST and QGIT positivity. Finally for each test, the number needed to screen (NNS) inorder to avert one TB case, was estimated in each facility. Results: Among ANC participants, 15 (11%) were TST+ and 40 (29 %) were QGIT+, with 73.2 % agreement (95% CI = 63.2-81.4, k = 0.214 (0.04 - 0.39)). Among ARTC participants, 22 (15.1 %) were TST+ and 69 (47.2 %) were QGIT+, with 62.1 % agreement (95% CI = 52-71, k=0.22 (0.09-0.34)). TST-/QGIT+ discordance was common in both groups (21% ANC, 34% ARTC). It was observed in the ANC that NNS estimate is 200 for TST alone and 73 for QGIT alone. Similarly in ARTC TST alone has an NNS of 147 compared to 47 for QGIT alone. Conclusions: The QGIT estimated a higher prevalence of LTBI as compared to TST in both facilities, more comparable to the Revised National TB Control Programme estimate of 30-40 %. Further advantage of using QGIT is the less than half of NNS estimate of TST alone in both settings. Thus there is need for development and evaluation of an algorithm with QGIT alone or two test strategy with both TST and QGIT in these settings, considering the issues with both the tests in this population.

▼ Tuberculosis (TB) is the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide and remains a major public health challenge, particularly in resource limited settings. Given the effectiveness of current treatment regimens, enhanced detection of disease in both low- and high-burden settings will be critical in making progress towards TB elimination.As TB case rates have declined in high-income settings, TB control has centered on finding and treating individuals with non-infectious latent TB infection (LTBI) in order to prevent reactivation infectious TB disease. Since 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended use of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs), in vitro immuno-diagnostic tests that measure effector T-cell mediated interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) response to M. tuberculosis specific antigens, could be used for targeted screening of LTBI in all circumstances in which the tuberculin skin test (TST) is used. We found that higher quantitative IFN-gamma results were associated with active tuberculosis and added clinical value to a prediction model incorporating conventional risk factors; however, in all settings and especially within low- and middle-income countries, IGRAs are inadequate rule-out or rule-in tests for active TB. Although IGRAs are widely used in high-income countries and numerous studies have evaluated their diagnostic performance for detection of LTBI, there is limited data on the precision of IGRA results. In the largest precision study of an IGRA to date, we found considerable variability in TB response measured by QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT, Cellestis, Australia); test results should be interpreted cautiously among low-risk individuals with positive TB response less than 0.59 IU/ml.In contrast to low TB burden, high income settings, TB control in low income settings focuses on early detection and treatment of individuals with active, infectious TB. In the WHO African Region, the incidence of multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) has tripled in the past 20 years and poses a major risk to regional TB control programs. Accurate, timely, and affordable drug susceptibility testing for patient management and in support of surveillance programs is urgently needed. In a politically unstable, high HIV prevalence region of southern Africa, we validated use of a low-cost, accelerated phenotypic method for MDR-TB detection, and provide the first report of the prevalence of MDR-TB from this country in 17 years.

A manutenção da infecção latente pelo M. tuberculosis (TBIL) pode ser atribuída à sua capacidade de sobreviver durante anos no organismo humano em um estado não replicativo (dormente). A proteína HspX do M. tuberculosis, induzida sob condições de hipóxia, está fortemente associada com a manutenção da viabilidade do bacilo na TBIL. O presente estudo tem como objetivo, verificar se a superexpressão da proteína HspX altera a expressão de genes envolvidos com a síntese de componentes da parede celular, replicação do DNA e divisão celular de bacilos, assim como, na expressão de genes envolvidos com a resposta imune inata em macrófagos infectados com esses bacilos. O gene hspX foi amplificado pela PCR a partir do DNA do M. tuberculosis H37Rv, clonado no vetor de expressão pFPCA1GFP, e a proteína HspX expressa em M. smegmatis mc2155. As bactérias, nas quais, a presença da proteína recombinante foi confirmada por Western Blot, foram utilizadas, para a análise de expressão gênica tanto em bactérias quanto em macrófagos infectados. O estudo de expressão gênica foi realizado utilizando a RT-qPCR. Quando comparado aos controles, as bactérias que expressavam a proteína HspX apresentaram uma redução na expressão de genes de replicação do DNA e divisão celular, que foi acompanhado por uma tendência a filamentação das células e uma redução no tamanho das colônias. Além disso, nos macrófagos infectados com a bactéria expressando a proteína HspX, houve um aumento tanto da expressão do mRNA quanto da secreção de IL-1b, citocina importante para estabilização do granuloma, e uma redução na expressão de IRGM, gene relacionado com o processo autofágico, importante mecanismo de defesa do hospedeiro contra bactérias intracelulares. Portanto, em conjunto, essas alterações de expressão gênica, em consequência da presença da proteína HspX sugerem uma contribuição, direta ou indireta, dessa proteína para a adaptação morfológica e metabólica da bactéria dormente durante a TBIL, e consequentemente, para a resposta imune inata dos macrófagos infectados favorecendo a viabilidade intracelular dessas bactérias.

The maintenance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection latent (TBIL) may be attributed to its ability to persist for years in the host in a non-replicative state (dormant). The HspX protein from M. tuberculosis, induced under hypoxic, is strongly associated with maintaining the bacillus viability in TBIL. This study aims to determine if HspX overexpression chances the expression of genes involved in the synthesis of cell wall components, DNA replication and cell division of bacilli, as well as, the expression of genes involved in innate immune response of macrophages infected. The gene hspX was amplified by PCR from DNA of M. tuberculosis H37Rv, and cloned into the expression vector pFPCA1GFP. The HspX was expressed in M. smegmatis mc2155 and the recombinant protein was confirmed by Western blot. The bacterias expressing HspX were used for gene expression analysis both in bacteria and in infected macrophages by RT-PCRq. In bacterias…

▼ Latent HIV infection allows virus to persist in HIV-infected individuals in spite of antiretroviral therapy. In addition to the well-studied reservoir of latent virus in resting memory CD4+ T cells, we have recently proposed that hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in the bone marrow serve as a reservoir for latent HIV. Here, I first investigate whether HIV envelope tropism impacts the ability of the virus to infect different types of HPCs. I find that HIV envelopes that are able to use CXCR4 as a co-receptor permit infection of immature, multipotent HPCs defined by expression of the cell surface marker CD133, whereas CCR5-tropic HIV has a greatly reduced capacity to infect these cells. Furthermore, I find that a CXCR4-tropic HIV envelope can infect hematopoietic stem cells that support long-term, multilineage engraftment in mice. As hematopoietic stem cells can live for the entire lifespan of a person, latent HIV infection of these cells could create a very long-lived reservoir of virus. I next examine the cellular factors that promote latency in HPCs and find that HIV can establish a latent infection in multiple HPC subsets, including immature HPCs. Latent infection in these cells can be reversed by activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB as well as by inhibition of histone deacetylases. Finally, I investigate whether the CD133+ subset of HPCs harbors HIV genomes in HAART-treated patients with undetectable viral loads. I detect HIV genomes in CD133-sorted cell populations in 6 of 11 donors, including two donors who have had undetectable viral loads for more than 8 years. Furthermore, for at least 5 of these 6 donors I demonstrate that CD3+ T cells are present at extremely low levels in the CD133-sorted populations and are therefore unlikely to contribute to the HIV DNA detected in these samples. Together, these findings illuminate the potential of long-lived, CD133+ HPCs to serve as a reservoir for latent virus in HIV-infected individuals. Further study of how latent infection in HPCs and T cells can be reversed to eliminate these viral reservoirs may lead us closer to a cure for HIV. Advisors/Committee Members: Collins, Kathleen L.

BACKGROUND: Healthcare worker(HCW) has an increased risk for tuberculosis (TB) infection by occupational exposure. Recently, Korean government recommended diagnosis and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) for HCWs who work at high-risk TB environment to control TB. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence and risk factors of LTBI and to estimate cumulative risk of active TB in HCWs. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a standard questionnaire and interferon gamma-release assay (IGRA) among HCWs in a teaching hospital. Biographical information for workplace, periods and interdepartment rotation were collected from electronic database. The predicted cumulative of active TB in HCWs with LTBI was evaluated based on a computerized algorithm. RESULTS: Of a total of 1,407 HCWs, 138 HCWs had a positive IGRA results and prevalence of 9.8% [95% confidence interval (CI) 8.2 – 11.4]. In the univariate analysis, age, BCG vaccination, comorbidity, total working period and job positions were significant risk factors for LTBI (P value < 0.001, respectively). The prevalence of LTBI was significantly increased with age (P value < 0.001). However, working periods in TB-related department was not associated with LTBI (P value = 0.369). In the multivariate analysis, age of ≥ 50 years [odds ratio (OR) 7.522, 95% CI 3.56–15.89], job of nursing assistant (OR 2.912, 95%CI 1.283-6.608) and working periods in department in which has a low probability to care for patients with active respiratory tuberculosis, of >1 to ≤5 years (OR 1.794, 95% CI 1.029-3.130) were significantly associated with increased risk of LTBI. Median cumulative risk of active TB with LTBI was estimated to be 4.31% [interquartile range (IQR) 3.43–5.29] and 4.41% (IQR 3.14 – 5.29) in HCWs with and without experience of working in TB-related department, respectively and there was no significant difference between two groups(p = 0.715). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of LTBI among HCWs might be not higher than that in general population. Given identified risk factors of LTBI and cumulative risk of active TB in HCWs, it is necessary to edit current treatment recommendation for LTBI in which risk for LTBI is classified by working department.

▼ Cercospora leaf blight (CLB) caused by Cercospora kikuchii, has become a troublesome disease in the southern United States. C. kikuchii produces a non-hostspecific phytotoxin and a pathogenicity factor known as cercosporin during infection of soybean. A quantitative real-time PCR assay was developed for detection and quantification of C. kikuchii. The sensitivity of detection is 1 pg of genomic DNA. The assay detected the presence of C. kikuchii in soybean leaves long before the appearance of disease symptoms. C. kikuchii DNA levels in soybean leaves increased slowly during early soybean development, followed by a quick increase at late reproductive stages. Results from three year field studies of soybean plants with various fungicide treatments showed that multiple fungicide applications beginning from late vegetative stages until late reproductive stages can reduce C. kikuchii growth and CLB symptom development. However, different fungicides vary in their effectiveness. In order to identify genes involved in cercosporin biosynthesis, proteins were isolated from C. kikuchii and compared between cultures grown under light (promotes toxin production up to 6 fold) and dark conditions through proteomics. Six proteins were up-regulated and two were down-regulated in C. kikuchii grown under light. Two of the up-regulated proteins [hydroxynaphthalene reductase (HNR) and adenosylhomocysteinase (AHCY)] were further studied through gene disruption. The resulting mutants showed reduced cercosporin production in vitro and virulence on soybean leaves. C. kikuchii secreted proteins from culture were also examined to identify proteins involved in the infection of soybean. Two of them showed high homology to glucan beta 1,3-glucosidase and EAP30 family proteins and identity of several proteins remains unknown. The function of these proteins in infecting soybean remains to be determined. Two small portions of AHCY gene also were inserted into a Bean Pod Mottle Virus (BPMV) derived vectors and introduced into soybean to explore the possibility of using host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) in controlling C. kikuchii infection of soybean, The target gene expression was reduced by 3.5 to 6.6-fold, and C. kikuchii growth was reduced by 16 to18-fold in the HIGS treated soybean compared to vector control plants, indicating a possible new approach to control CLB in soybean.

▼ The first paper uses a series of probit models to examine patient demand for isoniazid preventative therapy (9INH) for treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in an ethnically diverse clinic population. I produce an economic model of LTBI adherence that describes the value of immunity via acquired (treatment with 9INH therapy) or innate (no therapeutic intervention) means. The value of acquired versus innate immunity to TB depends on four factors: TB contact potential, immuno-compromised status, duration and acculturation status. This theoretical model is tested with clinic data. Results reveal that patients who have a greater contact potential are less likely to complete LTBI therapy (p < 0.05), while patients with diabetes are more likely to complete (p < 0.05). Immigration status negatively affects completion, while acculturation positively affects adherence (p < 0.05). The second paper uses a series of selection models to examine the costs to treat LTBI. I use a series of generalized Tobit models with random effects to control for individual heterogeneity to isolate the contribution of genetic effects to the monthly costs to treat patients who experience side effects to 9INH. I am able to estimate the differences in 9INH treatment costs between ethnic groups that feature distinct genetic predispositions to suffer side effects from 9INH. Results reveal that self-selection is present in this clinic data, although the classic Heckman two-step estimator is inappropriate to correctly capture this effect. I use a semi-parametric selection estimator and compare results with the Heckman estimator. Predictive capacity modeling shows that an ordered probit selection rule with parametric estimator is the optimal methodology to account for selection. The final paper uses a series of multilevel semi-parametric selection models to examine the comparative-effectiveness and absolute-effectiveness of isoniazid therapy (9INH) for treatment of LTBI. The comparative models incorporate random effects designed to control for individual heterogeneity and semi-parametric selection estimators to isolate the contribution of genetic effects to the total costs to treat. To analyze absolute effectiveness, I simulate cost-effectiveness ratios of an alternative therapy consisting of four months of rifampin (4RIF), a drug known to cause few side effects. I compare these ratios with bootstrapped confidence intervals of the cost-effectiveness ratios for 9INH within each ethnic group. Results reveal wide variations in the comparative effectiveness of 9INH across ethnic groups and biased results when the commonly employed case deletion methodology is used. For absolute effectiveness, 4RIF is cost-effective across all simulation scenarios for all patient groups, except for Asians. Advisors/Committee Members: Roe, Brian (Advisor).

▼ Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis, has adapted with the host environment and evolved to survive in harsh conditions in the host. The pathogen has successfully evolved strategies not only to evade the host immune system but also to thrive within the host cells. Upon infection, the pathogen is either cleared due to the host immune response, or it survives and causes active tuberculosis (TB) infection. In a number of cases however, the pathogen is neither killed nor does it actively proliferate, but it remains dormant in the host until the environment becomes favorable. This dormant state of pathogen is responsible for latent TB infection (LTBI). WHO reports indicated that as much as a third of the whole world’s population is exposed to the pathogen, of which a significant proportion could be latently infected (WHO report, 2015). These individuals do not show symptoms of active TB infection and hence are difficult to detect. The latent TB infected (LTBI) individuals serve as a reservoir for the pathogen, which can lead to epidemics when the conditions change. Hence, it is necessary to understand the host -pathogen interactions during LTBI, as this might provide clues to developing new strategies to detect and curb a latent infection. Host-pathogen interactions are multifaceted, in which both species attempt to recognize and respond to each other, all of these through specific molecules making distinct interactions with the other species. The outcome of the infection is thus decided by a complex set of host-pathogen interactions. The complexity arises since a large number of molecular components are involved, also multiplicity of interactions among these components and due to several feedback, feed forwards or other regulatory or influential loops within the system. The complexity of biological systems makes modeling and simulation an essential and critical part of systems– level studies. Systems biology studies provide an integrated framework to analyze and understand the function of biological systems. This work addresses some of these issues with an unbiased systems-level analysis so as to identify and understand the important global changes both in the host and in the pathogen during LTBI. The broad objectives of the work was to identify the key processes that vary in the host during latent infection, the set of metabolic reactions in the host which can be modulated to control the reactivation of infection, global adaptation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and then to utilize this knowledge to identify strategies for tackling latent infection. A review of literature of the current understanding of latency from the pathogen and the host perspective is described in chapter 1. From this, it is clear that most available studies have focused on the role of individual molecules and individual biological processes such as granuloma formation, toll-like receptor signaling, T cell responses as well as cytokine signaling, in either initiating or maintaining a latent infection, but there… Advisors/Committee Members: Chandra, Nagasuma (advisor).

▼ Occult HBV infection (HBV) in patients with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) has been reported to be clinically significant and contribute to chronic liver damage, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and may be associated with worse response tο antiviral treatment. Hepatomimetic viruses, such as CMV and EBV may influence the severity of liver disease and treatment response in HCV and HBV-infected patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible impact of occult HBV infection on clinical outcome of liver disease and the response to combination treatment in chronic HCV patients as well as to reveal the clinical significance of latent CMV and /or EBV infection in the progression of liver disease and the response to treatment in HCV and HBV patients. Seventy-five HBsAg negative patients with HCV infection confirmed by RT-PCR RNA and liver biopsy were evaluated. Serological assays of antiHBc and antiHBs were performed. Serum HBV DNA was evaluated using COBAS AMPLICOR HBV Monitor assay (cut off: 200 copies /ml). The values of AST, ALT, γGT, albumin, PLTs were determined. HCV genotypes were identified according to the Simmods et al. criteria. Titers of anti-CMV IgG and anti-VCA IgG were eveluated to assess “silent” infection of CMV and EBV by ELFA and ELISA, respectively. All of them had received combination therapy with peg-interferon-a plus ribavirin. The presence of HBV-DNA was correlated with epidemiological, clinical, laboratory data, HCV genotype, serological markers of HBV infection and response to the above mentioned combination therapy for HCV patients. Serum HBV DNA was detected in 33 (44.00%) HCV patients with mean:3152 IU/ml and range:260-8970 IU/ml. The prevalence of occult HBV infection was particularly high among anti-HBc (64.51%) or antiHBc plus anti-HBs positive (45.83%) patients. Occult HBV infection was also detected in 2 (10.00 %) patients negative for all HBV serum markers, although the HBV DNA titer was particularly low (<700 IU/ml). We observed that HCV patients with occult HBV infection had higher aminotransferases and γGT than patients without HBV DNA. The prevalence of occult HBV infection was in parallel with the severity of chronic liver disease. There was no significant difference in gender, age and genotype distribution in relation to the presence or absence of occult HBV infection and the response to treatment. In addition, the prevalence of latent CMV and EBV infection paralleled the severity of liver disease of HCV and HBV patients. It was higher among patients with cirrhosis and HCC, and lower among patients with normal aminotransferases. However, the difference was not statistically significant. Although the relation between genotype and treatment response is well-defined, our study revealed that other factors, such as latent HBV, CMV and/or EBV latent infection contribute to the treatment response of HCV patients. Moreover, we evaluated 30 HBV patients for occult infection with CMV and/or EBV in order to assess the possible role of occult infection. Νo…

Introduktion: Tuberkulos är en av världens mest spridda infektionssjukdomar. En tredjedel av jordens befolkning beräknas bära på bakterien utan att vara sjuka (latent tuberkulos, LTBI). Närmare tio procent av bärarna utvecklar aktiv tuberkulos någon gång under livet. Europa har jämförelsevis låg incidens av tuberkulos och i Sverige har antalet tuberkulosfall minskat sedan mitten av 40-talet. I Sverige ses de senaste årens ökade antal migranter som en förklaring till en tillfälligt ökad prevalens av tuberkulos. Tidig diagnostik och behandling av tuberkulos är avgörande faktorer för att förhindra smittspridning och ger den enskilde individen möjlighet att hantera sin hälsa, vilket är angeläget ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv. Landstingen/regionerna har valt olika strategier för vilka som ska inkluderas i screening för tuberkulos vid hälsoundersökningar av migranter. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka prevalens och uppföljning av latent tuberkulos bland migranter som genomgått hälsoundersökning vid vårdcentraler i Region Jönköpings län. Metod: Studien var en retrospektiv observationsstudie utifrån kvantitativ ansats. Data samlades in genom journalgranskning och 361 journaler inkluderades i analyserna. Förekomst av latent och aktiv tuberkulos korrelerades med kön, ålder och ursprungsland. Resultat: Resultaten från studien visade att prevalensen av LTBI i studiepopulationen var 9.4 %. Resultaten visade att LTBI var vanligare hos män och individer > 35 år. Däremot sågs inga skillnader utifrån ursprungsland. Slutsats: Studien är av begränsad storlek och därmed generaliserbarhet. LTBI är relativt vanligt bland migranter. Ytterligare studier behövs för att identifiera optimala rutiner för screening och förebyggande insatser i migrantgruppen.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of the world's most widespread infectious diseases. One third of the world’s population is expected to carry the bacterium without being ill (latent tuberculosis, LTBI). Nearly ten percent of the carriers develop active tuberculosis sometime during their lifetime. Europe has a comparatively low incidence of tuberculosis and in Sweden the number of cases of tuberculosis has decreased since the mid-40s. In Sweden, the increased number of immigrants in recent years is seen as an explanation for a temporarily increased prevalence of tuberculosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis are key factors in preventing the spread of infection and giving the individual the opportunity to manage their health, which is important from a public health perspective. The county councils/regions have chosen different strategies for whom to be included in screening for tuberculosis in health surveys of immigrants. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence and follow-up of latent tuberculosis among immigrants who have undergone a health examination at health centers in the County of Jönköping. Method: The study was a retrospective observation study based on quantitative approach. Data was…

▼ Statement of the Problem: Tuberculosis remains a major global public health problem. About 25 percent of the world’s population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Although individuals with latent tuberculosis are not infectious, they are at risk of developing active disease and becoming the next pool of infectious individuals. Studies show that risk for progression to disease once infected may range from 5% in children who are recently exposed to as high as 16% among individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Purpose: To identify individuals in the community who are latently infected with tuberculosis. Methods: We conducted two inter-related studies; Study 1 was to examine the effect of household and non-household exposure to an infectious tuberculosis case on the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection in the community. We identified index TB cases and matched them with controls who in turn enumerated their social contacts who were then approached and asked to participate in the study. Diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection was by tuberculin skin test. The second was an incident cohort study to investigate whether differences in the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection between men and women observed in previous studies could be due to differences in the incidence of latent tuberculosis infection. A cohort of tuberculin skin test negative individuals was enrolled between 2014 and 2016 and were followed -up and a repeat TST was placed to determine tuberculin skin test conversion. Main results: Infection was highest among household case contacts and lowest in household contacts of controls. Prevalent infection among non-household case contacts was similar to that of non-household control contacts. The incidence study found that men had a higher risk for infection than women. Fifty-one percent of converters were men representing an incidence rate of 16.2 per 100PYO while 48.4% of the converters were women representing an incidence rate of 10.6 per 100PYO among women.

▼ Background: Health care workers (HCWs) and health care students (HCSs), especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are particularly vulnerable to being infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The extent of latent TB infection (LTBI) among HCWs and HCSs in LMICs, and in Indonesia, is currently unknown, as is the degree of implementation of infection control measures in Indonesian health settings. Objective: This thesis aimed to: 1) describe the prevalence and incidence of LTBI in HCWs in LMICs and to identify associated risk factors, 2) assess the implementation of TB infection control measures in primary health centres (PHCs) in Bandung, Indonesia, 3) estimate the prevalence of LTBI measured by tuberculin skin test (TST) and identify factors associated with LTBI in HCWs in a tertiary referral hospital, and 4) estimate the prevalence of LTBI by interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) and TST, the one-year test conversion rates, and identify associated risk factors in HCSs. Methods and results: In a systematic review of 85 studies published from 2005 to 2017 the prevalence of LTBI in HCWs using TST ranged from 8-98% (mean 49%), and for HCSs from 1-74% (mean 32%). Using IGRA, the prevalence in HCWs ranged from 9-86% (mean 39%), and in HCSs from 10-44% (mean 24%). HCWs from countries with an annual TB incidence of >300/100,000 had the highest prevalence of test positivity. The annual incidence of LTBI ranged from 1-38% (mean 17%) in HCWs, and 3-8% (mean 5%) in HCSs, when estimated from serial TST, and from 10-30% (mean 18%) and 8% (one study), when estimated with IGRA in HCWs and HCSs respectively. Occupational factors associated with LTBI in HCWs were those that involved more direct contact with a TB patient or prolonged exposure. Only 15 studies reported any TB infection control measures. A cross sectional study assessing the implementation of TB infection control practices was conducted in 24 selected PHCs in Bandung, Indonesia. The evaluation of four key areas showed that TB infection control measures were generally not implemented. The median number of TB infection control measures implemented was 21 of 41 assessed. PHCs with laboratory facilities and high TB case numbers were more likely to implement TB infection control measures compared to other PHCs. A cross-sectional study examining the prevalence of LTBI measured by TST was conducted in 395 HCWs working in one public tertiary referral hospital in Bandung. The prevalence of positive TST was 75.1% (95% confidence interval 69.4-80.0%). The risk of TST positivity increased with increasing work years and was high across the hospital, suggesting that hospital wide measures are needed to counter the risk. A cohort study was conducted in HCSs entering their clinical training programme. At baseline, the prevalence of a positive IGRA was 18.5% (n=379), and of a positive TST was 32.7% (n=272). At one-year follow up, the risk of M. tuberculosis infection according to IGRA conversion was 8.9% (n=293) and according to TST was 35.4% (n=180).

O herpesvírus bovino tipo 5 (BHV-5) é um importante agente etiológico de meningoencefalite em bovinos e estabelece infecção latente em seus hospedeiros, principalmente nos gânglios dos nervos sensoriais. No entanto, a colonização de áreas profundas do cérebro com DNA viral pode ter implicações importantes na patogenia da infecção pelo BHV-5 após a reativação da infecção latente. Neste estudo, foi investigada a distribuição do DNA do BHV-5 no cérebro de coelhos infectados experimentalmente, antes e após a reativação da infecção latente, utilizando um nested-PCR para uma seqüência do gene da glicoproteína B. Dezoito coelhos infectados pela via intranasal com um isolado brasileiro de BHV-5 foram divididos em dois grupos: coelhos do grupo A (n=8) foram submetidos a eutanásia 60 dias pós inoculação (pi) para a coleta de tecidos; animais do grupo B (n=7) foram submetidos a administração de dexametasona no dia 60 pi. Para comparação foram utilizados dois grupos de coelhos inoculados com o BHV-1 (C, n=3 e D, n=3), cada grupo sendo submetido a um dos tratamentos acima, respectivamente. Nos animais do grupo A, o DNA viral foi consistentemente detectado no gânglio trigêmeo (8/8), freqüentemente no cerebelo (6/8), com menor freqüência na ponte e córtex anterior (3/8) e ocasionalmente no tálamo (2/8) e córtices ventro-lateral, dorso-lateral e posterior, pedúnculo cerebral e tálamo (1/8). Nos animais previamente submetidos à reativação, a distribuição do DNA viral foi mais ampla, sendo detectado mais consistentemente, além do TG (7/7), nos córtices ventro-lateral (6/7), e posterior (5/7), ponte e tálamo (4/7) e menos freqüentemente no pedúnculo cerebral (3/7). Em contrapartida, os animais inoculados com o BHV-1 apresentaram o DNA viral latente em poucos tecidos além do TG, e não apresentaram alterações importantes na distribuição do DNA viral após a reativação. Esses resultados demonstraram que o DNA latente do BHV-5 - e não o do BHV-1 - pode estar presente em várias áreas do cérebro de coelhos infectados experimentalmente. A reativação induzida por dexametasona resulta na reativação viral e provavelmente na colonização de áreas adicionais no cérebro. Com base nesses resultados pode-se especular que a reativação do DNA viral latente nestas regiões pode contribuir para a recrudescência de doença neurológica observada após a reativação da infecção latente pelo BHV-5.

Bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BHV-5) is a major etiologic agent of meningo-encephalitis in cattle and establishes lifelong latent infection in trigeminal ganglia and also in other areas of the brain. Colonization of deep areas of the brain with latent viral DNA may have important implications on the pathogenesis of BHV-5 neurological infection upon reactivation. In this study, we investigated the distribution of BHV-5 DNA in the brain of experimentally infected rabbits a laboratory model for BHV-5 infection - prior and subsequently to virus reactivation, using a nested PCR for the glycoprotein B gene. Eighteen rabbits inoculated intranasally with a Brazilian BHV-5…

O Herpesvírus canino tipo 1 (CaHV-1) está associado a desordens reprodutivas e mortalidade neonatal, podendo ser encontrado em cães saudáveis assintomáticos ou associado a manifestações clínicas variadas como lesões vesiculares genitais, infecções oculares e doença respiratória. O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar a presença do CaHV-1, através da reação em cadeia de polimerase (PRC), em amostras de urina e em swab ocular e vaginal de cadelas na cidade de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram utilizadas 20 cadelas com histórico ou sinais de desordens reprodutivas. Dois animais apresentaram resultado positivo na PCR (10%) nas amostras de urina e secreção ocular, respectivamente, um diagnosticado com piometra e outro saudável e histórico de natimortalidade. Todas as amostras de secreção vaginal foram negativas. No sequenciamento de DNA as amostras positivas apresentaram 100% de similaridade de nucleotídeos com outras quatro cepas de CaHV-1 já descritas e depositadas no Genbank. Os cães positivos na PCR no presente estudo provavelmente eram portadores de infecção latente. A detecção do DNA viral nas amostras avaliadas confirma a presença do CaHV-1 na população canina do município de Uberlândia. Trata-se da primeira detecção molecular do agente na região sudeste do Brasil.

Canine herpesvirus-1 (CaHV-1) is known to cause reproductive disorders and fatal infections in puppies, and may also be found in asymptomatic dogs or related to vaginal vesicular lesions, ocular infections and respiratory diseases. The aim of this study was investigate the ocurrence of CaHV-1 using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) within urine samples, ocular and vaginal swab samples from Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. Twenty mature bitches, with at least one estrous and reproductive disorders history and/or symptoms were used. Two out of twenty dogs (10%) were positive in the urine and ocular swab samples, respectively, one with pyometra diagnosis and another one healthy with history of stillbirth. No positive results were detected within vaginal swab samples. Sequence analysis of the DNA polymerase gene of the positive samples indicated 100% identity with the sequence of the four CaHV-1 strains selected from Genbank. These findings suggest that positive dogs might be CaHV-1 latent carriers. Additionally, the results confirm the presence of CaHV-1 circulating within urban canine population of Uberlândia, MG. This is the first report that a CaHV-1 infection has been detected in the Southeast Brazil.

▼ Most of the chemical reactions of living cells are catalyzed by protein enzymes. These enzymes are very efficient and display a high degree of specificity with respect to the reaction catalyzed. Cellular activities depend critically on the precise three-dimensional structure and function of thousands of enzymes. Many enzymes require binding of metal ions or small organic molecules for their function. The organic molecules that are indispensible components of catalysis by proteins are called coenzymes. Pyridoxal 5ʹ-phosphate (PLP) is a versatile coenzyme found in all living cells. PLP-dependent enzymes play a key role in the function of most of the enzymes catalyzing reactions in the metabolic pathways of amino acid synthesis and degradation. The enzyme pyridoxal kinase serves to make available the co-enzyme PLP to apo-PLP dependent enzymes. Because of their key role in cellular function and their medical importance, the structure and function of PLP-dependent enzymes have been extensively investigated. In the past decade, detailed investigations on the structure and function of several PLP-dependent enzymes have been carried out in our laboratory. The enzymes studied are B. subtilis serinehydroxymethyl transferase (SHMT), S. typhimurium acetylornithine aminotransferase (AcOAT), S. typhimurium and E. coli diaminopropionate ammonia lyase (DAPAL), S. typhimurium D-serine dehydratase (DSD), S. typhimurium D-cysteine desulfhydrase (DCyD) and S. typhimurium arginine decarboxylase (ArgD). The extensive studies conducted on PLP-dependent enzymes in our laboratory during the past decade has not only resulted in deeper understanding of their structure and function but also raised several new questions regarding substrate recognition, reaction specificity, role of active site residues in the catalytic reaction, mechanism of catalysis and potential applications of these enzymes. This thesis is an attempt to answer some of these questions. The thesis also presents the structure and function of a new protein, Salmonella typhimurium pyridoxal kinase, the enzyme that provides PLP for PLP-dependent enzymes. Single crystal X-ray diffraction technique is the most powerful tool currently available for the elucidation of the three-dimensional structures of proteins and other biological macromolecules and for revealing the relationship between their structure and function. X-ray diffraction studies have provided in depth understanding of the topology of secondary structural elements in the three-dimensional structures of proteins, the hierarchical organization of protein domains, structural basis for the substrate specificity of enzymes, intricate details of mechanisms of enzyme catalyzed reactions, allosteric regulation of enzyme activity, mechanisms of feed-back inhibition, structural basis of protein stability, symmetry of oligomeric proteins and their possible biological implications and a myriad of other biochemical and biophysical properties of proteins. The work reported in this thesis is primarily based on X-ray diffraction… Advisors/Committee Members: Murthy, M R N (advisor).

▼ ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONFactors Affecting Medication Adherence among Vietnamese Immigrantswith Latent Tuberculosis Infection: A Mixed DesignbyFayette Nguyen TruaxDoctor of Philosophy in NursingUniversity of California, Los Angeles, 2016Professor Adeline M. Nyamathi, Chair Completion of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment among foreign-born Asians in the United States (US) is suboptimal, thus leading to high rates of reactivation tuberculosis (TB) among this population. Approximately 77% of TB cases in the US are from reactivation TB and foreign-born Asians have a higher reactivation rate compared to Blacks, Hispanics and Whites. In Orange County (O.C.), the annual TB case rate continues to remain steady at 6.0 cases per 100,000 in 2014 with foreign-born persons from Vietnam leading with a TB rate of 49.7%, Mexico at 14.4% and the Philippines at 12.6%. Overall the high number of active TB cases among Vietnamese immigrants, coupled with low LTBI treatment completion rate of approximately 50.1% in the overall Asian population, presents an important challenge to the national strategy of eliminating TB (Li et al., 2010). At this time, there is limited data on Vietnamese immigrants with LTBI in the US. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to identify the factors related to LTBI treatment acceptance and completion in addition to exploring the decision-making process of LTBI treatment adherence among Vietnamese immigrants. Predictors for phase 1 included: socio-demographic characteristics, basic health history, behavioral survey scores measured by Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), Champion Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS-29) and the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use (SEAM-9). Significant predictors for multivariate analysis for treatment acceptance included individuals with a history of smoking and recent contact with an infectious TB case. For treatment completion, the top two most significant predictors in the univariate analysis included age group between 18-44 years and current employment. No significant predictors were identified in the multivariate analysis for treatment completion. There were also no significant correlations identified between the psychosocial measurements (SEAM-9, CHBMS-29, MMAS-8) and treatment completion. In phase 2, a decision-making grounded theory model entitled “The Decision-Making Model for Latent TB Infection Treatment Acceptance and Completion” was developed from the stories and testimonies of 17 Vietnamese participants. Three primary decision-making points were identified that was critical to the development of the proposed model: treatment acceptance, treatment initiation and treatment completion. Three categories emerged from participants’ data that were directly related to the decision to accept LTBI treatment, “beliefs”, “TB awareness” and “trust in healthcare”. Findings revealed the only category to influence treatment initiation was “barriers” to scheduling. Lastly, the decision to maintain adherence and complete treatment were strongly…

According to the data, 5~10% of Tuberculosis (TB) carriers are possible to be converted to Active TB. Korea was the first of TB attack rate among OECD members in 2014, however, it shows gradually the decrease trend with the year 2011 as the peak. PURPOSE OF RESEARCH: Based on the analyzed data about the blood test result from the recipients of military conscription examination and the status of the all of the country TB carrier, this research compared and analyzed Biochemical examination(7types and BMI-index) data between TB carrier and Negative collected from Seoul, Daejeon and Kyeong-In Military Manpower Administration. The environment of Army-camp is worse condition for disease. The treatment for TB carrier before joining the army should be very important. Under the present unclear data for TB carrier, the clear regional data will be useful to set the national health care policy up and helpful to make a plan of the national Health Project. So, the main purpose of this research is beforehand to prevent converting to Active TB with the investigation and the treatment TB carrier of the recipients of military conscription examination. METHOD OF RESEARCH: The study participants as below are analyzed. - age: Over 19 years - Target area and the condition: 1) Seoul Military Manpower Administration: 18,541 the recipients from 23,Jan,2017 ~ 28,Apr,2017 2) Daejeon Military Manpower Administration: 8,513 the recipients from 23,Jan,2017 ~ 28,Apr,2017 3) Kyeong-In Military Manpower Administration: 10,681 the recipients from 23,Jan,2017 ~ 28,Apr,2017 RESULT OF RESEARCH: It showed the meaningful result between Glucose and TB carrier by the data from Seoul and Daejeon Military Manpower Administration and It showed the meaningful result between Dyslipidemia and TB carrier by the data from Kyeong-In Military Manpower Administration Based on this result, TB carrier is estimated to be the correlation with Glucose and Dyslipidemia. This suggests that a carrier of latent tuberculosis may have an association with dyslipidemia and glucose, but more extensive studies should be conducted considering the control of variables, regional characteristics and lifestyle. We will also have to research the correlation between Latent TB/TB bacillus and the various diseases more and more. Through this research we found that the infection rate of Latent TB in Korea is not low-level and understood the necessity of the continuous management and supervision. Henceforward, the limitation of this research will have to be improved and we must make an effort to lower TB attack rate and death rate with investigating the corrective infection cause by Contrastive study and Epidemiological investigation.

This is a 150 pages doctoral document that contains 31 tables, 262 references and divided in two major sections: a general section that describes the impact of tuberculosis in the world and a specific section that describes the aim, design and results of the study. In the general section there is a description of the “TB epidemic” that emerged since 1985 mainly due to the increasing incidence of HIV and immigration. The chapters of the general section also describe the delayed reaction of the international community in the fight against TB and the unique characteristics of the Paediatric tuberculosis. In the second chapter, we also describe the failure of major health organizations to consider the importance of Paediatric TB as a major strategic tool to control the disease. In the epidemiology section, we define tuberculosis, tuberculosis infection and the reasons why LTBI is in fact a subclinical disease. Other topics also covered were the pathophysiology of infection, use of TB drugs, treatment of tuberculosis and chemoprophylaxis of tuberculosis infection, the surge of MDR TB and finally the reasons behind the poor compliance to treatment of children and adults. In the chapter “Aim of the study”, we analyze the reasons why children should be studied separately from adults. Also, in that section we describe all the arguments that support the use of combination chemotherapy instead of monotherapy for the treatment of LTBI. The study was conducted in two time periods. In period 1, enrolment of patients began January 1st 1995 and ended December 31st 1998, while in the second period (period 2) enrolment started January 1st 1999 and ended December 31st 2002. During the next 3 years (2003-2005) we continued to follow all patients until three years were completed from the time the last patient was enrolled. During the first period, we compared the internationally recommended regimen of 9 months INH chemoprophylaxis for children with LTBI, with a short 4 month course of INH+RIF. During the second period we compared two short course regimes (3 months Vs 4 months) of INH+RIF. The study design was identical for the two periods and patients were randomly allocated to the different groups on the basis of their clinic number (odd or even). The recruitment criteria followed the international definitions for LTBI. Patient adherence was defined by the presence of drug metabolites in the urine, while drug related side effects were documented following the completion of a questionnaire and in certain cases by determination of liver enzymes. Follow up with chest radiographs in predetermined time periods continued up to 3 years after completion of treatment. Evaluation was completed following regular telephone communication between the clinic and the patient’s family. ................................................................................................................

▼ Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most fatal infectious diseases worldwide, accounting for more than 2 million deaths annually. One-third of the world’s population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis while World Health Organization estimates a prevalence of 19 new cases/ 100 000/ year in Greece, among the highest in Western Europe. A critical step in the elimination of tuberculosis would be the prompt diagnosis of latent tuberculosis. For more than a century and until recently, Mantoux has been the only method for the assessment of infection with the Mycobacterium of tuberculosis. The above technique has some drawbacks, the most important of which is the occurrence of false positive results due to infection with non-tuberculous mycobacteria or after the vaccination with BCG that has as a result the application of unnecessary treatment. A major breakthrough in recent years has been the development of new techniques, called interferon-γ release assays. With the above techniques, T cell release of interferon- γ in response to stimulation to antigens specific for the Mycobacterium of tuberculosis, is measured. Two assays have become commercially available: QuantiFERON – TB Gold assay and T-SPOT. TB. A major challenge is the prompt diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in the elderly who are at increased risk of incurring TBC reactivation due to the impairment of cell immunity and the co-existence of acute or chronic diseases. In Greece, a large percentage of geriatric population lives in nursing homes. There have been only a few studies investigating the effect of contact with people suffering from active tuberculosis in such settings while there are no explicit and unified recommendations in regard policies and practices of TB screening among elderly residents and staff working in nursing homes. In Greece there have been no studies comparing the efficacy of interferon-γ release assays and Mantoux in BCG vaccinated populations and estimating the value of IGRA in the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis in the elderly. The aim of the first phase of the present study is to compare Mantoux and the interferon-γ release assays, in particular Quantiferon TB Gold in tube assay, in Greek Army recruits that have been vaccinated with BCG in their childhood and had not been exposed to tuberculosis in the past. We also studied the effect on TST of the interval since BCG vaccination. Of 56368 subjects who enlisted at all recruitment centers throughout Greece 1765 were enrolled in our study. We excluded 15 recruits with chronic medical conditions, because of receiving treatment for either active or latent tuberculosis, and due recent exposure to patients suffering from active tuberculosis. A total number of 1750 recruits were finally enrolled in our study. Of a total of 1750 subject 96 (5.4%) were TST-positive with an induration size ≥ 10 mm. The 111 participants with TST≥0 mm were divided in four groups according to the defined TST grouping values. The first group included subjects with TST induration 1-4 mm the second group…
