Challenges in diagnosis and treatment of extrapulmonary tuberculosis
Hoel, Ida Marie (Doctoral thesis, 2021-09-23)The infectious disease tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem. Diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB is often challenging due to non-specific symptoms and findings, and the lack of sensitive diagnostic tests. This leads to ... -
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 ... -
Immunochemistry-Based Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis: A Strategy for Large-Scale Production of MPT64-Antibodies for Use in the MPT64 Antigen Detection Test
Hoel, Ida Marie; Ali, Iman A Mohammed; Ishtiaq, Sheeba; Sviland, Lisbet; Wiker, Harald Gotten; Mustafa, Tehmina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem. The immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based MPT64 antigen detection test has shown promising results for diagnosing extrapulmonary TB in previous studies. However, the anti-MPT64 ... -
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 ... -
Xpert MTB/RIF ultra for rapid diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a high‑income low‑tuberculosis prevalence setting
Hoel, Ida Marie; Syre, Heidi; Skarstein, Ingerid; Mustafa, Tehmina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is often challenging due to paucibacillary nature of the disease. Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) has been developed to improve detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex ...
