Blood Kynurenine Pathway Metabolites Show Limited Diagnostic Utility for Tuberculosis among Adults Living with HIV and Children in Uganda

George W. Kasule, Joachim Nsubuga, René Lutter, Derrick Semugenze et autres

Introduction Traditional sputum-based diagnostics often demonstrate sub-optimal diagnostic performance in people living with HIV (PWH) and children presenting with paucibacillary tuberculosis (TB). This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of circulating kynurenine-pathway metabolites against an authentic symptomatic control cohort in Uganda. Methods Tryptophan, …

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-based prediction of tuberculosis treatment failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Rogers Kamulegeya, Rose Nabatanzi, Derrick Semugenze, Faridah Mugala et autres

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of infectious disease mortality worldwide, and treatment failure contributes to ongoing transmission, drug resistance, and poor clinical outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) approaches have attracted growing interest in predicting TB treatment outcomes, …

Performance of a next-generation rapid lipoarabinomannan urine assay for tuberculosis in outpatients with and without HIV in South Africa and Uganda: a two-centre diagnostic accuracy study

Beston Hamasur, Anna O. Okunola, James Sserubiri, Welile V Nwamba et autres

BACKGROUND: Non-sputum-based tuberculosis tests are a global priority because sputum-dependent diagnostics systematically miss populations at highest risk of disease, including people living with HIV. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a next-generation urine lipoarabinomannan assay. METHODS: In this two-centre diagnostic accuracy study, …

Head-to-head evaluation of host blood biomarkers for point-of-care TB triage: diagnostic accuracy study

Kevin Komakech, Ivan Sserwadda, James Sserubiri, Moses Joloba et autres

ABSTRACT Global tuberculosis (TB) incidence is slowly decreasing, partly because undiagnosed TB continues to fuel transmission. Point-of-care TB triage tests (TTTs) performed near a patient or at the site of patient care may help bridge this gap, but head-to-head comparisons of different …

Serum tuberculosis biomarkers and their association with clinical characteristics among hospitalized adults living with HIV in Uganda

Lydia Nakiyingi, Bernard Kikaire, Olive Mbabazi, Rose Nabatanzi et autres

Background Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) remains challenging, particularly in high TB/HIV burden settings. We evaluated serum biomarkers associated with active PTB and their relationship with TB-related clinical characteristics among hospitalized PLHIV in Uganda. Methods We …

Tuberculosis in households with infectious cases in Kampala city: Harnessing health data science for new insights on an ancient disease with persistent, unresolved problems (DS-IAFRICA-TB) Study Protocol

Emmanuel Nassinghe, Denis Musinguzi, Mercy Takuwa, Rogers Kamulegeya et autres

Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is prevalent in Uganda and overlaps with a high rate of HIV/TB coinfection. While nearly all hospital-based TB cases in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, show clear TB symptoms, 30% or more of undiagnosed TB cases found through active …

Uptake and rollout of the World Health Organization-endorsed technologies for Tuberculosis diagnosis in Africa: a literature review of international evidence 2007-2021

Jean de Dieu Iragena, Esther Uwimaana, Derrick Semugenze, Kevin Komakech et autres

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed a range of diagnostic tuberculosis (TB) over the years. A little is documented about the uptake in the WHO African Region (WHO/FR). Objective: We assessed the uptake of the endorsed diagnostic technologies for tuberculosis …

Neural network-based identification of easily-obtainable demographic and clinical characteristics to identify people with tuberculosis

Devendra Singh Parihar, Joshua Jansen van Vüren, Thomas Niesler, Grant Theron et autres

ABSTRACT We consider the application of machine learning to the classification of tuberculosis (TB) based on clinical and demographic data. Such data is routinely collected from people who present with cough at community-level care centres. Therefore, such automatic classification could identify people …
