Burden of pulmonary tuberculosis among Ethiopians seeking jobs in the Middle East
This study revealed a relatively high prevalence of presumptive TB among Ethiopian (MDWs) seeking jobs in the Middle East. The X-ray results may not be confirmatory diagnosis for TB. Therefore, further investigation is required using other confirmatory methods such as Gene Xpert or TB culture. Linking medically unfit individuals to TB care is crucial to mitigate transmission risks based on the WHO recommendations
Whole-genome sequencing-based genetic diversity, transmission dynamics, and drug-resistant mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients in western Ethiopi…
Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) refers to a form of Tuberculosis (TB) where the infection occurs outside the lungs. Despite EPTB being a devastating disease of public health concern, it is frequently overlooked as a public health problem. This study aimed to investigate genetic diversity, identify drug-resistance mutations, and trace ongoing transmission chains. Methods: (MTB) samples obtained from EPTB patients. Out of the 96 geno…
Prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis in homeless individuals in the Addis Ababa City, Ethiopia
Background Homeless individuals are at a high risk of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) as compared to the general population. The number of homeless individuals has been increasing in Addis Ababa City during the last three decades due to the migration of rural inhabitants to the City for better living conditions. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and evaluate asso…
Drug sensitivity of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its association with bacterial genotype in the Somali region, Eastern Ethiopia
Background Drug resistance is becoming a major bottleneck for tuberculosis (TB) control programs in countries with high TB burdens. Although several studies were conducted on the drug sensitivity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) in central Ethiopia, there is a lack of data on the drug sensitivity of M. tuberculosis in the peripheral regions of the country including in the Somali region. Therefore, the objective of this study was …
Zoonotic Transmission of Tuberculosis Between Pastoralists and Their Livestock in South-East Ethiopia
Despite huge global efforts in tuberculosis (TB) control, pastoral areas remain under-investigated. During two years sputum and fine needle aspirate (FNA) specimens were collected from 260 Ethiopian pastoralists of Oromia and Somali Regional States with suspected pulmonary TB and from 32 cases with suspected TB lymphadenitis. In parallel, 207 suspected tuberculous lesions were collected from cattle, camels and goats at abattoirs. All specimens we…
