TL;DR: The Diagnostic Process Is Dynamic Clinical Evaluation Radiological Evaluation Role of Surgical Lung Biopsy Unclassifiable Interstitial Pneumonia Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Evaluation Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

TL;DR: The first patients from India with TDR tuberculosis are described, and drug susceptibility testing was performed at the Hinduja Hospital, the city's busiest referral laboratory and a Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) accredited laboratory.

TL;DR: Several lines of evidence suggest that alternative mechanisms-including pharmacokinetic variability, induction of efflux pumps that transport the drug out of cells, and suboptimal drug penetration into tuberculosis lesions-are likely crucial to the pathogenesis of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

TL;DR: Treatment outcomes were significantly better with use of linezolid, later generation fluoroquinolones, bedaquiline, clofazimine, and carbapenems for treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and the need for trials to ascertain the optimal combination and duration of these drugs is emphasised.

TL;DR: An 80% prevalence of latent M. tuberculosis infection in urban India is suggested in 100 prospectively recruited healthy adults in Bombay (Mumbai), India.
