Abstract
This case report presents an atypical manifestation of tuberculosis in a 21-year-old male who presented with multiple subcutaneous swellings in the bilateral heel, left elbow, and base of the left third finger for the previous 6 months. The patient also experienced loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss. Despite initial suspicion of bacterial abscesses, antibiotics did not lead to significant improvement. Further investigations revealed an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and findings suggestive of osteomyelitis on imaging. Gene Xpert testing confirmed multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the causative agent. The patient was prescribed a bedaquiline-based multidrug-resistant tuberculosis regimen, which resulted in reduction in swelling size. This report highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing complex cases of primary multiple tubercular abscesses, especially with drug-resistant strains, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary management for successful outcomes.

Abstract
Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease, characterized by symmetrical proximal myopathy and cutaneous manifestations. DM is associated with upto a 6-fold increased risk of cancer. Complications secondary to underlying cancer are a leading cause of mortality in DM. Here, we discuss the two year clinical course of an elderly male with recalcitrant DM. This case was complicated by tubercular lymphadenitis followed by gumma. Subsequently, he was diagnosed with lymphoma and succumbed to death. This case emphasizes the need to do extensive malignancy screening at regular intervals in DM.

Abstract
Muscular tuberculosis as a primary focal lesion in an immunocompetent individual without any underlying bone involvement is a rare finding. The authors present a case of a young female in her 30s who presented with complaints of recurrent discharging sinus in the posteromedial aspect of the proximal right thigh for eight months. The patient was treated by surgical debridement followed by antitubercular therapy (ATT) and has shown full recovery during the post-eight-month treatment period. Such a presentation of primary tubercular pyomyositis imposes a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic challenge.

Diagnosis of multiple tuberculous muscle abscesses in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus by metagenomic next-generation sequencing- a case report and literature review. BMC Infect Dis 2024; 24:284. [PMID: 38438834 PMCID: PMC10913444 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-09179-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of muscular tuberculosis (TB) without coexistent active skeletal involvement is often challenging because the disease is very rare and its clinical manifestation is nonspecific and misleading. To raise the awareness and emphasize early diagnosis of muscular TB, we present a case of multiple tuberculous muscle abscesses in a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) female, but without pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), in order to increase awareness of and stress the need of early detection of muscular TB. CASE PRESENTATION A 44-year-old woman with a 6-year history of SLE who had been treated with methylprednisolone for a long time complained of erythema on her trunk and extremities for five months, along with edema and myalgia for two months, and fever for one month. The patient was first misdiagnosed as SLE overlap dermatomyositis. However, an ultrasound-guided drainage of muscle abscesses revealed positive acid-fast staining combined with positive deoxyribonucleic acid fragment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). The patient was cured and released following standard anti-tuberculosis medication, local puncture drainage, and an intravitreal injection of streptomycin. Literature search found only 19 cases of tuberculous muscle abscesses occurring in the extremities reported from 1999 to 2023. CONCLUSIONS Extrapulmonary TB with predominantly muscle involvement is rare and with no specific clinical presentation. Muscular tuberculosis may be disdiagnosed for dermatomyositis due to the high muscle enzyme levels, delaying diagnosis and treatment. mNGS technology is helpful in the early and rapid diagnosis of muscular TB. On the basis of traditional anti-tuberculosis treatment, an ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture drainage and intracavitary injection of streptomycin for the treatment of tuberculous muscle abscess is easy to operate, safe and effective, which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of infectious disease, and emergency medicine providers are often the first physicians to encounter patients with untreated or undiagnosed disease. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 30-year old man with disseminated TB with multiple musculoskeletal and subcutaneous tubercular abscesses. The diagnosis was suspected in the Emergency Department, but his inpatient treatment was complicated by various social issues. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: This case highlights uncommon examination findings of TB and illustrates the importance of considering this disease when treating patients who present with atypical manifestations of it.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical features and associated underlying conditions of isolated tuberculous myositis (ITBM), a rare extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Methods A systematic literature search and a multicenter survey were performed using a triangulation strategy. Data from the identified ITBM cases were extracted and analyzed to determine the underlying conditions, clinical presentations, treatments, and outcomes. Results Based on the systematic review, we identified 58 ITBM, including 9 pediatric, cases in the literature published from 1981 to 2021 25 (43.1%) immunocompromised and 33 (56.9%) non-immunocompromised patients. Immunocompromised cases had a significant shorter symptom duration (median 30.0 vs. 75.0 days) and a higher prevalence of multilocular involvement (20.8% vs. 0%). Among 24 immunocompromised adult patients, dermatomyositis/polymyositis (DM/PM; n=10, 41.7%) were the most common underlying diseases in adults with ITBM identified in the systematic review. Over the past 20 years, 11 Korean adults with ITBM were identified in the multicenter survey. Of 7 immunocompromised cases, two (28.6%) were DM/PM patients. TB death rate of immunocompromised patients was 0.0% and 5/23 (21.7%) in the pediatric and adult ITBM cases identified in the systematic review, respectively, and 3/7 (42.9%) in survey-identified ITBM cases. Conclusion ITBM has a unique clinical presentation including fever, tenderness, local swelling, overlying erythema, abscess formation and was associated with a grave outcome, especially in immunocompromised hosts. DM/PM was a highly prevalent underlying disease in both systematic review-identified and survey-identified immunocompromised ITBM patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to reveal the molecular mechanism of bone destruction due to macrophage polarization leading to during extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) infection. METHODS The dataset GSE83456 was downloaded from the GEO database, and the xCell tool was used to obtain the 64 types of immune cells. The flow cytometry was performed to identified the differences between M1 and M2 macrophages between EPTB and the healthy controls (HCs). The enrichment analyses were performed on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their functionally related modules. The hub genes were screened out, and their relationships with EPTB and the immune cell subtypes were further analyzed. RESULTS The flow cytometric analysis validated this hypothesis of M1-macrophage polarization correlated with the pathogenesis of EPTB. Of the obtained 103 DEGs, 97 genes were upregulated, and 6 genes were downregulated. The GO and KEGG pathway analyses showed that the DEGs were particularly involved in the immune-related processes. The hub genes (STAT1 and CXCL10) might be involved in M1-macrophage polarization and correlated with the pathogenesis of EPTB. STAT1 and CXCL10 could also behave as biomarkers for EPTB. CONCLUSION STAT1 and CXCL10 were involved in the M1-macrophage polarization and correlated with the pathogenesis of EPTB. Besides, both of them could also behave as biomarkers for EPTB diagnosis and provide the required clues for targeted therapy in the future.

Ferroptosis-related gene SOCS1, a marker for tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment, involves in macrophage polarization and facilitates bone destruction in tuberculosis. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2021; 132:102140.

Abstract
This study was aimed to reveal the role of ferroptosis in tuberculosis infection. To elucidate the ferroptosis-related DEGs, GEO datasets associated with tuberculosis infection were downloaded. The two external validation GEO datasets were exploited for subsequent verification of the ferroptosis-related DEGs. We further evaluated the correlation among the ferroptosis-related DEGs, therapeutic effects, and drug resistance. Finally, we tried to reveal the engagement of the ferroptosis-related DEGs in bone destruction during TB infection. The present study identified SOCS1 as the only ferroptosis-related DEGs. Compared to the non-TB patients, up-regulation of SOCS1 was evident in the TB patients. After receiving standard anti-TB treatment, significant down-regulation of SOCS1 confirmed its acceptance as the marker for therapeutic efficacy. The involvement of SOCS1 has also been suggested in the regulation of the micro immune environment in TB. Furthermore, SOCS1 might play an important role in causing bone destruction during TB infection. FRGs-SOCS1 may be the key gene involved in the pathogenesis and progression of TB infection.

Abstract
Objective This study is aimed to develop a new nomogram for the clinical diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB). Methods xCell score estimation to obtained the immune cell type abundance scores. We downloaded the expression profile of GSE83456 from GEO and proceed xCell score estimation. The routine blood examinations of 326 patients were collected for further validation. We analyzed univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identified independent predicted factor for developing the nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The correlation of ESR with lymphocytes, monocytes, and ML ratio was performed and visualized in osteoarticular TB patients. Results Compared with the healthy control group in the dataset GSE83456, the xCell score of basophils, monocytes, neutrophils, and platelets was higher, while lymphoid was lower in the EPTB group. The clinical data showed that the cell count of monocytes were much higher, while the cell counts of lymphocytes were lower in the osteoarticular TB group. AUCs of the nomogram was 0.798 for the dataset GSE83456, and 0.737 for the clinical data. We identified the ML ratio, BMI, and ESR as the independent predictive factors for osteoarticular TB diagnosis and constructed a nomogram for the clinical diagnosis of osteoarticular TB. AUCs of this nomogram was 0.843. Conclusions We demonstrated a significant change between the ML ratio of the EPTB and non-TB patients. Moreover, we constructed a nomogram for the clinical diagnosis of the osteoarticular TB diagnosis, which works satisfactorily.
