TL;DR: M72/AS01E provided 54.0% protection for M. tuberculosis–infected adults against active pulmonary tuberculosis disease, without evident safety concerns, in a phase 2b trial in Kenya, South Africa, and Zambia.

TL;DR: Epidemiologic aspects of the relationship between infection with Leishmania chagasi and development of clinical visceral leishmaniasis were studied in all children < 11 years old in a defined, endemic, rural area of the state of Ceará in northeast Brazil, finding no increased risk of infection for children living in the same household with dogs.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that murine T cells contain a specific DHEA receptor, a steroid hormone that is directly involved in the regulation of IL-2 production by both normal and some T-cell hybridomas.

TL;DR: The results show that cytokine induced NO has a major effector role in resistance of murine hosts to Leishmania infection and leads to a cachectic state not caused by infection alone or inhibition of NO synthesis alone.

TL;DR: LDA appears to be safe and to reduce early systemic fungal infections in BMT recipients and improved survival was observed among LDA recipients, but this was not directly attributable to the prevention of fungal infection.
