Id: 13625 Author: Antunes, Abílio; Nina, Jaime; David, Suzana Title: Serological screening for tuberculosis in the community: an evaluation of the Mycodot procedure in an African population with high HIV-2 prevalence (Republic of Guinea-Bissau) ..- Source: s.l; s.n; 2002. 5 p. tab. Abstract: The immuno-dot-blot assay MycoDot, which detects lipoarabinomannan (LAM) antibodies, was evaluated for the serological diagnosis of active pulmonary tuberculosis in patients in a rural community in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. Sera from 269 adults (age > 15) and 33 children (age < 5) were assayed for antibodies in a blind manner and the results compared to the clinical status of tuberculosis. The assay had a specificity and a sensitivity of 92.4 per cent and 63.0 per cent respectively, when applied to the adult population. In HIV-2 infected individuals (27/269), the specificity and sensitivity of the assay were similar, 94.7 per cent and 62.5 per cent respectively. The assay did not provide high sensitivity for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in children. Sera from patients with leprosy cross-reacted with the antigen of the assay. It is concluded that this easily performed assay may be useful for the presumptive diagnosis of tuberculosis in adult populations in rural areas of developing countries where routine screening is not readily available.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The epidemiology of leprosy in rural Egypt is unknown. This prospective household survey was conducted in a high-prevalence Egyptian village in order to explore the epidemiologic characteristics of the disease and to determine the possible socioeconomic and HLA genotype risk factors. METHODS: The subjects of the study were the residents of Kafr-Tambul village in the Dakahlia governorate, Egypt. There were 10,503 inhabitants of the village, of whom 9643 (91.8 per cent) had a complete visual skin examination, and suspected leprosy patients were subjected to histopathological examination and slit skin smears. Each household was interviewed to record personal data on family members, family size, education, occupation, crowding index at sleep, social score and source of water supply. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genotypes were analyzed in all leprosy patients and in a number of both household (N = 124) and non-household (N = 30) contacts. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of clinical leprosy in the village studied was 24.9/10,000 (95 per cent CI = 16.3-37.6). Individuals above the age of 40 years were 4 times more likely to develop leprosy (OR = 4, P= 0.01). The degree of education, crowding index at sleep, social score and source of water supply were found to be unlikely to increase the risk of leprosy (P > 0.05). The frequencies of HLA-DR2 and -DQ1 were significantly associated with leprosy (OR = 3.33 and 5.4; CI = 0.95-12.07 and 1.08-30.19, respectively, all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides the first picture of the epidemiology of leprosy in a high-prevalence village in rural Egypt. Leprosy detection campaigns should be initiated and directed towards high-prevalence villages. Provision of leprosy control activities in rural health units is necessary in order to detect new cases. The risk for leprosy is associated with HLA-DR2 and -DQ1 markers, and these markers appear to increase personal susceptibility to leprosy in this village. (AU).

Abstract: A community survey was carried out in the area of a Primary Health Centre in Western Rajasthan to know the prevalence rate. A prevalence rate of 0.5 per thousand was found. Most of the cases were above 40 years and only 22.6% gave the history of contact with other members of the family. Most of the cases had tuberculoid (N) leprosy showing maculoanesthetic patches over upper and lower extremities. Face was involved in 9 cases and 3 cases had lost their toes...(AU).
