Tuberculosis is an air-borne infection caused by the organism Mycobacterium Tuberculosis that can affect any organ though it commonly involves infection of the lungs. Extra pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for 15% of all cases. Extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is defined as any…

Background Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) without symptomatic pulmonary involvement has been thought to be non-transmissible, but EPTB with asymptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) could transmit tuberculosis (TB). Genomic investigation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is…

Hepatic tuberculosis (HTB) is rare extrapulmonary tuberculosis that is clinically similar to liver malignancy, making it difficult for correct diagnoses. Pathology is the gold standard for tuberculosis diagnosis. However, there are few reports on the pathological features of HTB.…

Background Meningitis is the most severe manifestation of tuberculosis. It is largely unknown why some people develop pulmonary TB (PTB) and others TB meningitis (TBM); we examined if the genetic background of infecting M. tuberculosis strains may be relevant. Methods We whole-ge…
