Emergence of bedaquiline-resistant tuberculosis and of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains with rpoB Ile491Phe mutation not detected by Xpert MTB/RIF in Mozambique: a retrospective observational study

Lancet, Infect. dis.; 12 (23), 2023
Background In 2021, an estimated 4800 people developed rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis in Mozambique, 75% of which went undiagnosed. Detailed molecular data on rifampicin-resistant and multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis are not available. Here, we aimed at gaining precise data on the determinants o...

Reduction of blood C-reactive protein concentration complements the resolution of sputum bacillary load in patients on anti-tuberculosis therapy

Front. immunol; 13 (), 2022
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a difficult-to-treat disease requiring the combination of four antibiotics for a minimum of 6 months. Rapid and quantitative biomarkers to monitor treatment response are urgently needed for individual patient management and clinical trials. C-reactive protein (CRP) is oft...

Evaluation of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis surveillance system in Maputo City, Mozambique in the period 2017-2018

Pan Afr. med. j; 41 (), 2022
Introduction: multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains a public health problem worldwide. In Mozambique, cases of MDR-TB have increased annually. In 2018, 1,206 cases were reported, as compared to 943 cases in 2017. The aim of this study was to assess the surveillance system for multidrug-resist...

TB sequel: incidence, pathogenesis and risk factors of long-term medical and social sequelae of pulmonary TB - a study protocol

BMC pulm. med; 19 (1), 2019
Background: Up to fifty percent of microbiologically cured tuberculosis (TB) patients may be left with permanent, moderate or severe pulmonary function impairment. Very few studies have systematically examined pulmonary outcomes in patients to understand the pathophysiologic basis and long-term socio-eco...

Tuberculosis Case Finding With Combined Rapid Point-of-Care Assays (Xpert MTB/RIF and Determine TB LAM) in HIV-Positive Individuals Starting Antiretroviral Therapy in Mozambique

Clin. infect. dis; 65 (11), 2017
Tuberculosis is a major health concern in several countries, and effective diagnostic algorithms for use in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive patients are urgently needed. Methods. At prescription of antiretroviral therapy, all patients in 3 Mozambican health centers were screened for tubercu...

Mobile health treatment support intervention for HIV andtuberculosis in Mozambique: Perspectives of patients and healthcare workers

PLos ONE; 12 (4), 2017
Studies have been conducted in developing countries using SMS to communicate with patients to reduce the number of missed appointments and improve retention in treatment, however; very few have been scaled up. One possible reason for this could be that patients or staff are dissatisfied with the method i...

Drug-resistant tuberculosis in Central Mozambique: the role of a rapid genotypic susceptibility testing

BMC infect. dis; 16 (423), 2016
Background: Genotypic molecular testing may be very helpful for tuberculosis (TB) drug-resistance surveillance and for treatment guidance in low resource settings. Methods: Descriptive analysis of M. tuberculosis isolates from Beira Central Hospital, Mozambique, during 2014-2015. Genotype MTBDRplus and ...

Nevirapine or efavirenz for tuberculosis and HIV coinfected patients: exposure and virological failure relationship

J. antimicrob. chemother; 70 (1), 2015
Objectives: We describe nevirapine and efavirenz exposure on and off tuberculosis treatment and consequences for virological efficacy and tolerance in patients included in the ANRS 12146/12214-CARINEMO trial. Methods: Participants were randomly selected to receive either nevirapine at 200 mg twice daily...

Pharmacokinetics of Rifampin and Isoniazid in Tuberculosis-HIVCoinfected Patients Receiving Nevirapine- or Efavirenz-Based Antiretroviral Treatment

This is a substudy of the Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le Sida et les Hépatites Virales (ANRS) Comparison of Nevirapine and Efavirenz for the Treatment of HIV-TB Co-infected Patients (ANRS 12146-CARINEMO) trial, which assessed the pharmacokinetics of rifampin or isoniazid with or without the coadm...

Manual de Diagnóstico e Tratamento de Tuberculose Resistente e Multi-Droga Resistente

A Tuberculose (TB) é uma das mais antigas doenças da humanidade e constitui um sério problema de saúde pública a nível mundial. O fenómeno da resistência aos medicamentos da tuberculose surgiu logo após a utilização dos primeiros tuberculostáticos para o tratamento desta doença. A resistênc...
