🤔Pop quiz: What’s the deadliest infectious disease on the planet? Answer: #Tuberculosis, aka “White Death.” And good news, TB showed a slight dip in reported cases in the U.S. in 2025 after a recent surge, according to #CDC data. Read ⬇️

Iran’s Pasteur medical research centre ‘heavily damaged’ in strike Large parts of the facility, which plays a key role in combating infectious diseases like cholera and Covid-19, have been reduced to rubble https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/irans-pasteur-medical-research-centre-damaged-in-strike/
March 25, Iranian officials reported that several buildings containing equipment and laboratory instruments had been damaged in an air strike, while an earlier strike on March 7 also caused damage. The WHO has recorded 23 attacks targeting healthcare facilities in Iran since February 28. In total, there have been over 1,600 civilians killed, including at least 244 children, since the conflict began, according to data verified by Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRANA).
#Pasteur Institute of #Iran in #Tehran was focused on infectious diseases, helping to fight #plague, #smallpox, #cholera, rabies, #hepatitisB & #tuberculosis by supporting the development of #vaccines and treatments.
Cause for concern: the potential accidental release of #biological agents.
📢 #Tuberculosis cases dipped slightly in U.S. after a recent surge, according to CDC data, but parsing the data is “more complex” than one might think, says @ameshaa.bsky.social. Read here ⬇️

The #WHO recommends new #diagnostic tools to help end #tuberculosis such as:
➡️ diagnostic tests to be used near the patient and
➡️ samples taken from the tongue (faster and able to reach more people)

"Previously, there were patients who fell into a borderline category. We suspected that the child had TB, but the tests did not show positive results. This algorithm has helped us a lot in such cases." Dr Saima Umar, Head of the Paediatrics Department at Gujranwala Teaching Hospital (Pakistan)
The Head of the Paediatrics Department at Gujranwala Teaching Hospital (Pakistan), Dr Saima Umar, shares her experience of how WHO Treatment Decision Algorithms are helping diagnose children with #tuberculosis more effectively and the challenges doctors faced before their introduction.

Complement activation on different clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains in 10% serum. Clinical strains of 5 MTBC lineages were irradiated and incubated with 10% of normal human serum (NHS) that was preincubated with the different inhibitors and mock controls for 10 minutes at room temperature. Deposition of C3b (A) and membrane attack complex (MAC) formation (B) was measured by flow cytometry after incubation with specific monoclonal antibodies followed by the addition of fluorophore-labeled secondary antibodies. Median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values represent the level of complement activation after background subtraction, which was determined for each strain by negative controls that were processed identically but in the absence of 10% NHS. Data represent the mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments.
Novel insights into early host–pathogen dynamics of #tuberculosis emphasize the importance of considering Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex lineage diversity in understanding the immune response to mycobacterium. Read more: https://ow.ly/Srvj50Yyjkc
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious contagious disease caused by bacteria that typically affects the lungs but can also impact other parts of the body. TB spreads through the air when a person with active TB disease coughs, speaks, or sings.
