Abstract

Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem. Of all people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis only a small proportion develops into TB. IL 23 is the key cytokine in the pathogenesis of TB infection. This study aims to determine the association of IL-23 R rs 7518660 gene polymorphism with susceptibility and disease severity of Pulmonary TB. A case control study involved 105 people consisting of 31 drug sensitive pulmonary TB patients, 40 patients with drug-resistant pulmonary TB and 34 healthy subjects as a control. IL-23 R rs 7518660 gene polymorphism G allele increases susceptibility to both TB drug-sensitive and drug-resistant. G and A allele, AA and AG genotypes indicates (p value >0.05) in correlation with disease severity based on lesion in chest x-ray and high load of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum. There was a significant relationship between allele A and susceptibility to pulmonary TB with an odds ratio of 0.231. It showed that patients with A alleles (AG and AA genotypes) were at risk of developing TB by 1/0.231 = 4.33 times lower than patients with GG genotypes. Meanwhile, the relationship of the G allele with susceptibility to pulmonary TB obtained (p value <0.05) and an odds ratio value of 0.127 indicating that patients with G alleles (GG and AG genotypes) were at risk of developing TB of 1/0.127 = 7.87 times higher than in patients with the AA genotype. Conclusion: We found significant correlation between IL-23 R rs 7518660 gene polymorphism G allele with susceptibility to pulmonary TB, but the result was not significant with disease severity.

Abstract

Background: TB spondylitis is a disease that can cause neurological disorders, ranging from 1-2% of the total cases of tuberculosis where the most frequent infection is the spine followed by other large joints such as hips, knees and shoulders. The increase in TB spondylitis associated with MDR TB in 2015 showed 52% or about 32,000 incidences globally.Collaboration of individual alloy MDR TB therapy with surgery in TB spondylitis can reduce patient mortality and morbidity.Case: We report three cases of patients in 2017-2018 in Dr. Saiful Anwar with complaints of back pain and lumps in the back, from the results of anamnesa, physical examination and supporting examination of patients diagnosed with TB spondylitis, patients were given medical management, operative and rehabilitation.Conclusion: This case is interesting because from the results of Molecular Rapid Tests whose samples were obtained from a biopsy of the transpendicular debridement surgery tissue obtained the results of Resistant Rifampicin, all three patients received individualized OAT treatment, the development of the conditions of the three patients improved and quality of life improved.
