“…Zinc inadequacy impacts the host as it achieves reduced phagocytosis and prompts a diminished number of streaming T-cells and lessened tuberculin reactivity. Therefore, it is judicious that zinc supplementation may be valuable in accomplishing the early recovery from the disease 27 .…”

Background: The association between TB, oxidative stress and dietary supplements is multidirectional. The inflammation associated pathology in tuberculosis leads to the development of the free radical generation. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was selected for the study. This study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad. A total of 75 subjects will be enrolled from department of respiratory medicine from Santosh hospital, Ghaziabad and were divided into 3 groups as 75 healthy individuals of either sex as controls, 75 newly diagnosed patients of pulmonary tuberculosis and 75 patients after 6 months from starting treatment. Patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis and on anti tubercular treatment (after 6 months) belonging to age group of 18 years and above from either sex were included in this study. The data was collected from July 2020–June 2021. Results: A total of 225 patients were recruited for the study from the department of respiratory medicine. Newly diagnosed cases have significantly increased levels of MDA with values estimated as 4.59 nmol/ml as compared to the healthy subjects with value as 1.82 nmol/ml. Anti oxidant markers i.e. Serum calcium, total antioxidant capacity, Vitamin D and zinc levels were decreased with the TB patients and were raised after 6 months of ATT. Conclusion: Tuberculosis is an important health problem requiring early diagnosis for timely initiation of the therapy and control of disease transmission (RNTCP Guideline 2010). Although the available data suggest that the TB epidemic may be on the decline, the absolute number of new cases is still the highest. Anti tubercular therapy proves to be beneficial in reducing the oxidative stress and hence, the tubercular burden.

BACKGROUND The expanse of the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is huge. The impact is multispectral and affected almost all aspects of human life. SUMMARY Respiratory impact of the COVID-19 is the most felt and widely reported impact. As the novel coronavirus maintained its history of affecting lungs as seen previously in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. Ventilators and oxygen support system are required mostly in comorbid patients particularly amongpatientsbearing illnesses like asthma, bronchial impairment and so on. CONCLUSION More study needs to be done in order to assess the impact on the respiratory functioning of the body. Respiratory care must be including proper instruments so that more efficient result can be obtained. Research is needed to promote the invention of specific therapy for targeted action for respiratory functioning improvement.

“…Tuberculosis kills millions of people every year. TB took the lives of an estimated 13 million HIV people (12 lac to 14 lac) in 2017, with an additional number of HIV-positive people (266,000-335,000) dying from the disease (Pradip Jain et al, 2020). Cavities, consolidations, and centrilobular nodules are all signs of postprimary tuberculosis.…”

Tuberculosis is a worldwide public health problem that affects people from all walks of life, including those in the United States, where it is more frequent among immunocompromised patients and other high-risk groups. Tuberculosis is a disease that can be active or latent. Postprimary tuberculosis occurs after a long period of latent infection. Lymphoma, pulmonary consolidation, and pleural effusion are the most prevalent symptoms of primary tuberculosis in children and immunocompromised adults. Nontuberculous mycobacterial disease might have symptoms that are similar to active tuberculosis, necessitating a test to establish the diagnosis. It is critical to be familiar with the imaging, clinical, and laboratory aspects of tuberculosis to diagnose and manage the disease. Mycobacterium Tuberculosis directly affected the lungs & many symptoms are seen as discuss earlier like Sweat, Loss of weight Cough, Fever, etc. Also the modern techniques are included, several drugs are given to TB patients. Multidrug-and extended-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB and XDR-TB, respectively) is a major public health concern that jeopardises TB treatment and control progress.
