Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis by detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in cerebrospinal fluid filtrates using PCR.
TL;DR: It is concluded that CSF 'filtrates' contain a substantial amount of M. tuberculosis DNA and ' Filtrates and not 'sediments' are likely to reliably provide a PCR-based diagnosis in 'suspected' TBM patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis GlcB or HspX Antigens or devR DNA impacts the rapid diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in children.
Sagarika Haldar,Naveen Sankhyan,Neera Sharma,Anjali Bansal,V. Jain,Vijay Gupta,Monica Juneja,Devendra Mishra,Arti Kapil,Urvashi B. Singh,Sheffali Gulati,Veena Kalra,Jaya Sivaswami Tyagi +12 more
TL;DR: The detection of M. tb GlcB/HspX antigens/devR DNA in CSF is likely to improve the utility of existing algorithms for TBM diagnosis and also hasten the speed of diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multitargeted loop-mediated isothermal amplification for rapid diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.
Manish Modi,Kusum Sharma,Megha Sharma,A Sharma,Neera Sharma,Shalini Sharma,Pallab Ray,Subhash Varma +7 more
TL;DR: The LAMP assay using two targets for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex using six MTC-specific primers each is a promising and accurate technique for the rapid diagnosis of TBM.
Journal ArticleDOI

S. C. Sharma,Manoj Kumar Goyal,Kusum Sharma,Manish Modi,Megha Sharma,Niranjan Khandelwal,Sudesh Prabhakar,Neera Sharma,Ritu Shree,Jitender Gairolla,A Jain,Vivek Lal +11 more
TL;DR: The serum and CSF levels of various cytokines were significantly elevated in TBM patients compared to controls and contribute significantly towards severity of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The increasing problem of subclinical and overt hypervitaminosis D in India: An institutional experience and review
TL;DR: There is a global secular trend of increases in 25-OHD over years and empirical, unmonitored, prolonged vitamin D supplementation, using non-recommended supraphysiological doses, especially when administered intramuscularly, should be discouraged.
