Frequency of Pulmonary Aspergillosis Among Clinically Suspected and Under Treatment Tuberculosis Patients , Khartoum State , Sudan
...Show More Authors

Background

Respiratory tract aspergillosis is a pulmonary disease cause by aspergillus species which are opportunistic fungi that mainly infect immuno-compromised patients .

 Objective(s)

The present study aimed to detect the frequency of pulmonary aspergillosis among clinically suspected and under follow up tuberculosis patients conducted at Tropical Diseases Teaching Hospital, Omdurman, Khartoum State , Sudan during the period from December 2019 to November 2020.

 Materials and Methods

One hundred and fifty sputum samples were collected from suspected cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and under follow up tuberculosis patients. All specimens were examined using 20% KOH and cultured on two sets of Sabouraudʹs Dextrose agar slope media with chloramphenicol.

Results

Asperigillus species were isolated from 9/150 (6%) patients. They represented 5(3.3%) A.fumigatus, 3 (2%) A. niger and 1 (0.6%) A. Flavus. It was found that all Aspergillus isolates were revealed from Non acid fast bacilli (Non AFB) patients 9/137(6.6%) with the most common frequency among asymptomatic patients 3/35(8.6%) , patients who were under tuberculosis treatment (8.5%), those who were under Rifampicin (RIF) and Isonizide (INH) treatment (10%) and with duration of less than three month. Also the higher percentage (13%) was represented among the age group range from 61-80 year and slightly among males 6/97 (6.2 %) than females 3/53 (5.7%). There was statistically non-significant association between the frequency of aspergillosis and the studied variables in this study.

Conclusion

 The frequency of pulmonary aspergillosis among patients with anti-tuberculosis treatment reflects the need for routine screening and diagnosis of those patients since the use of anti- tuberculosis treatment can promote the growth and reproduction of fungi.

Keywords

Pulmonary aspergillosis, tuberculosis, follow up patients.

The study aimed to increase the biological value of white bean. The effect of different concentrations 0.01 ,0.02,0.03,and 0.04 M of sodium sulfite solutions for 1hr at 70 ºC on the trypsin inhibitors activity, protein isolate and protein solubility of complete and dehulling white bean flour were studied.Trypsin inhibitors activity were reduced by 42.97, 58.69, 68.59 and 69.58% in complete white bean flour at 0.01 ,0.02, 0.03, 0.04 M respectively, while the corresponding values were 50.43, 61.00, 75.61 and 85.66% respectively in dehulling white bean flour .Protein isolate value was 13.41% and protein solubility was 2.2% in control sample, Furthermore, the using of chemical treatment showed that protein isolate was reduced gradually and

Dermatophytes are species with slight genetic variation, and are yet several uncertainties about the differences among species. This study aims to isolate and diagnose the Trichophyton interdigitale by molecular technique and to reveal the phylogenetic distance and similarity of the Iraqi isolates to other isolates from the globe, in addition, to submit the obtained sequences to the NCBI database. This study included 86 with multiple lesions on different parts of the body. The results showed different variations within the ITS gene between the isolates. It was concluded that Trichophyton interdigitale in Iraqi isolates had two types of substitution variations (Transition and Transversion) different than global isolates. Moreover, it
