“…Reactivation of latent TB was the most common mode of acquisition. Among patients with TB, information regarding TB risk factors including prior TB exposure, either through clinical history, tuberculin skin testing, or imaging, was reported in only 140 of 364 cohort patients and detailed in 81 of 165 case reports . Only 36 of 140 (25.71%) cohort patients were given INH prophylaxis.…”

“…Benito et al3 reported on a retrospective cohort study in which 5 of 284 patients with negative tuberculin skin tests prior to liver transplantation developed posttransplant TB infections. Grasso et al4 described a case of massive pleural effusion and ascites from TB occurring 22 months after liver transplantation. Zhang et al5 reported an incidence rate for TB infection of 1.38% in their center's kidney and liver transplant patients.…”

Objective: To produce a model indicating the extent of hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis based on easily available preoperative data. Design: Retrospective study based on multicenter prospectively updated databases. Setting: Two tertiary referral centers specializing in hepatobiliary surgery. Patients: A total of 466 patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis between 1995 and 2006. Main Outcome Measures: To create a decision tree for safe liver resection based on factors affecting irreversible postoperative liver failure (IPLF). Results: A total of 23 patients (4.9%) developed IPLF. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score (categorized as Ͻ9, 9-10, and Ͼ10; PϽ.05 for all comparisons) and extent of hepatectomy were independent predictors of IPLF. In patients with a MELD score of less than 9, the IPLF rate was 0.4%. In patients with a MELD score of 9 or 10, the IPLF rate was 1.2% for resections of less than 1 segment, 5.1% for segmentectomies or bisegmentectomies, and 11.1% for major hepatectomies. In this category of MELD, serum sodium levels identified a low-risk group (sodium Ն140 mEq/L; to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 1.0) not experiencing IPLF and a high-risk group (sodium Ͻ140 mEq/L) in which resections of less than 1 segment led to an IPLF rate of 2.5% and resections of 1 segment or more led to an IPLF rate of more than 5% (PϽ.05). In patients with a MELD score of more than 10, the IPLF rate was more than 15% in all types of hepatectomies. Conclusion: A simple algorithm based on the MELD score and serum sodium level can indicate the maximum tolerable extent of hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis.

Population infected with hepatitis C virus [HCV] have a high incidence of latent to TB infection [12].

ABSTRACT:The study was carried out to investigate the socio-demographic characteristics and co-morbidity of patients suffering from tuberculosis from selected hospitals of Faisalabad and Lahore, Pakistan. A total of 366 patients were included in the study. The ZN microscopy was carried out along with PCR. The socio-demographic characteristics of each patient were recorded along with any comorbidity. All the patients under study were found positive by ZN staining, while, 258 (70.5%) were found positive by PCR. Of these 258 patients, 52% were females and 48% were males. The 36.8% patients were between 16-30 years, 40% had a body weight between 41-50 Kg, 75.6% were married, 51.9% were uneducated, while 41.8% had education up to ten grades, and 38% were housewives. Tuberculosis alone was present in 36.8% cases, while 63.2% patients had other disease conditions as well. Out of 63.2%, 24% had diabetes, 17.8% had hepatitis virus infection, 11.2% had diabetes and hepatitis (HCV) together, 4.2% had HIV infection, 12.3% had both HIV and HCV infections together and 3.4% had myocardial infarction. Among TB patients 52% were females, 75.6% were married and 51.9% uneducated. The 63.2% patients had comorbidity of which 24% had diabetes, 17.8% viral hepatitis, 4.2% HIV and 3.4% myocardial infarction.
