Cyclooxygenase inhibitors impair CD4 T cell immunity and exacerbate Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in aerosol-challenged mice
Mortensen, Rasmus; Clemmensen, Helena Strand; Woodworth, Joshua S.; Therkelsen, Marie Louise; Mustafa, Tehmina; Tonby, Kristian; Jenum, Synne; Agger, Else Marie; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Andersen, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Tuberculosis, caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), kills over 1.6 million people each year despite availability of antibiotics. The increase in drug resistant Mtb strains is a major public health ... -
Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis using the MPT64 antigen detection test in a high-income low tuberculosis prevalence setting
Hoel, Ida Marie; Sviland, Lisbeth; Syre, Heidi; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Skarstein, Ingerid; Jebsen, Peter Wilhelm; Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Wiker, Harald G; Mustafa, Tehmina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) poses diagnostic challenges due to the paucibacillary nature of the disease. The immunochemistry-based MPT64 antigen detection test (MPT64 test) has shown promising results ... -
Evaluation of immune responses in HIV infected patients with pleural tuberculosis by the QuantiFERON® TB-Gold interferon-gamma assay
Baba, Kamaldeen; Sørnes, Steinar; Hoosen, Anwar A.; Lekabe, Jacob M.; Mpe, Mathew J.; Langeland, Nina; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-03-14)Background: Diagnosis of tuberculous (TB) pleuritis is difficult and better diagnostic tools are needed. New blood based interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) tests are promising, but sensitivity could be low in HIV positive patients. ... -
Evaluation of treatment response in extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a low-resource setting
Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Aßmus, Jörg; Marijani, Msafiri; Sviland, Lisbeth; Mustafa, Tehmina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-16)Background Diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is challenging and many patients are initiated on empirical anti-TB treatment without a laboratory confirmed diagnosis. Monitoring treatment response is thus important ... -
IP-10 dried blood spots assay monitoring treatment efficacy in extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a low-resource setting
Hoel, Ida Marie; Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Marijani, Msafiri; Ruhwald, Morten; Mustafa, Tehmina; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-07)Treatment efficacy is difficult to evaluate in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) patients. Interferon-γ inducible protein (IP-)10 has been suggested as a biomarker for response to treatment. We have investigated if IP-10 ... -
MPT64 antigen detection test improves routine diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a low-resource setting: A study from the tertiary care hospital in Zanzibar
Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Marijani, Msafiri; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Sviland, Lisbeth; Mustafa, Tehmina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-09)Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is a diagnostic challenge. An immunochemistry-based MPT64 antigen detection test (MPT64 test) has reported higher sensitivity in the diagnosis of EPTB compared with conventional ...
