Research conducted by Diponegoro University has shed light on the characteristics of tuberculosis (TB) patients at R.A. Kartini Hospital and the factors that influence the results of pulmonary TB therapy. The study's findings highlight the importance of age, employment status, and TB-HIV co-infection in determining treatment outcomes.
Antitubercular agents
Researchers from First People's Hospital recently reported two cases of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in pediatric patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for SCID combined with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) disease. The study highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention to prevent severe complications in
