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 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 ... -
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 ... -
Mycobacterial antigens accumulation in foamy macrophages in murine pulmonary tuberculosis lesions: Association with necrosis and making of cavities
Riaz, Syeda Mariam; Bjune, Gunnar Aksel; Wiker, Harald G; Sviland, Lisbeth; Mustafa, Tehmina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding mechanisms of cavitation in tuberculosis (TB) is the missing link that could advance the field towards better control of the infection. Descriptions of human TB suggest that postprimary TB begins as lipid ... -
Rapid and Specific Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis by Immunostaining of Tissues and Aspirates With Anti-MPT64
Purohit, Manju; Sviland, Lisbeth; Wiker, Harald G; Mustafa, Tehmina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04)Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) constitutes about 15% to 20% of all cases of tuberculosis (TB). The confirmation of EPTB has always been a challenge to laboratory personnel. We aim to evaluate the diagnostic ...
