Article Abstract
Tuberculosis of the nose is very rare. When it does occur, it almost always arises secondary to primary pulmonary tuberculosis. Nasal tuberculosis is most common in women older than 20 years. We report the case of a 16-year-old girl who presented with epistaxis, fever, submental swelling, and enlargement of multiple cervical and axillary lymph nodes. The patient was diagnosed with tuberculous granuloma of the nose and tuberculous lymphadenopathy. She was successfully treated with a 6-month regimen of standard antituberculous therapy.

Unlabelled: Tuberculosis, a persistent public health challenge worldwide, is transmitted when exhaled (Mtb) particles expelled from an infected individual are inhaled by a susceptible person. To study the adaptation of Mtb during transition between hosts, we developed a transmission simulation system (TSS) that combines controlled pathogen aerosolization and measurement of bioaerosol particle characteristics with in-flight sampling of Mtb and infection of mice by nose-only exposure. Using scattered-light spectrometry, we demonstrated that Mtb aerosol concentrations generated by the TSS better represented human cough than the aerosol concentrations produced by a full-body inhalation exposure system commonly used for Mtb infection of mice.

Introduction: Healthcare personnel (HCP) face high risks of airborne infections, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), tuberculosis, and measles. Filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) are critical for protection but require an adequate fit for effectiveness. Limited studies have explored the fit performance of different FFR designs in Southeast Asian populations.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains a major global health problem, with one-third of the world's population infected.
Objective: This report presents five cases of tuberculous meningitis with a particular emphasis on the symptoms and signs of otitis media that, in various combinations, should raise suspicion for tuberculous meningitis.
Case Presentation: These cases underscore the diagnostic challenges and clinical complexities associated with tuberculous otitis media, particularly when there is concurrent involvement of the central nervous system.
