ABSTRACT-Globally tuberculosis remains a challenge from the point of diagnosis, detection of drug resistance, and treatment. Treatment can only be initiated, when infection is detected and it based on the results of AST, recently there has been a marked increase in the development and testing of novel assays designed to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although most important advances that would develop tuberculosis (TB) analysis have not been realized, we are beginning to see the innovations that have been prompted by the recognition of the economic potential of the market for new diagnostic tests for TB and considerably increased public and private funding and awareness. In my present review, we focus on the newer tests that are accessible for the analysis of suppressed and active tuberculosis and rapid detection of drug resistance, nucleic acid amplification for identification of M. tuberculosis complex, and rapid tests for detecting drug resistance. PCR-based technologies and hybridization assays used for the recognition of the mycobacteria. Though these newer techniques are useful for a rapid result, emphasizing that culture-based diagnosis is still the 'gold standard' for the diagnosis and follows up on tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT-Zika virus is a mosquito transmitted flavivirus belongs to family Flaviviridae, which became the focus of an ongoing pandemic and public health emergency all around the world. Zika virus (ZIKV) has 2 lineages: African and Asian. Mosquito-borne flaviviruses are thought to initially replicate in dendritic cells and then spread to lymph and therefore the blood stream. Risk for infection through blood transfusion, sexual practices, and perinatal transmission exists. The potential routes of perinatal transmission are all over delivery, breastfeeding and by close contact between the mother and newborn baby. ZIKV is often misdiagnosed with other infection like Dengue and Chikungunya because of similar clinical manifestation. The association between these conditions with Zika virus infection is still not confirmed and is under assessment. Since ZIKV has neither an effective treatment nor a vaccine is available, therefore the public health authority focuses on preventing infection, particularly in pregnant women and virus transmitted region. Zika infections in adults may result rarely in Guillain-Barre syndrome. World Health Organization and different health officers are working on the development of new projects and mosquito control methods to cope up with infection as there's very less literature present on the pathologic process of the Zika virus to help interpret the clinical disease spectrum and target treatments to minimize or prevent infection. WHO/PAHO encourages the countries to set up and retain Zika virus infection detection, clinical management and community assertion strategies to decrease transmission of the virus. This review describes the current understanding of the epidemiology, transmission, clinical characteristics, and diagnosis of Zika virus infection, as well as the future outlook with regard to this disease.
