Tobacco increases the risk of pulmonary infection, especially tuberculosis. We try by this study to analyse this action. It's a comparative study between two groups of patients hospitalized in our department between January 2006 and June 2008. The first group was made of 30 smokers patients
We evaluated the impact of intensive smoking cessation activities as an adjunct to anti-tuberculosis treatment on patient-related treatment outcomes. In this open-label, randomised controlled trial, self-reporting smokers with pulmonary tuberculosis who initiated standard anti-tuberculosis treatment
OBJECTIVE
To determine the pattern of tobacco use among non-pulmonary tuberculosis patients attending the chest clinic of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria.

Tobacco use and alcohol abuse are associated with higher risk of tuberculosis (TB) infection, progression to active TB and adverse treatment outcomes among patients with TB. Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) treatment guidelines (2016) require the documentation of This study examines predictors of smoking cessation in tuberculosis patients with high HIV co-infection rates in a South African primary care setting. Current smokers were randomly allocated to brief motivational interviewing (n = 205) or receipt of a brief message (n = 204). Multi-level logistic
The general activity of the antitryptic system of the blood was studied in 60 practically healthy persons and in 65 patients with active tuberculosis. A group of tobacco smokers (5 years, 6-10 years) was singled out. It was established that tobacco smoking and pulmonary tuberculosis was accompanied
Tobacco use and under-nutrition are major public health concerns and tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in India. Using a cohort of 148,173 persons (recruited 1991-1997 and followed-up 1997-2003) the joint effects of tobacco use and BMI on tuberculosis mortality was studied.
METHODS
Tobacco smoking is associated with significantly increased risks of latent tuberculous infection, active tuberculosis (TB), TB recurrence and mortality. Tobacco cessation interventions not only increase health benefits, they also reduce the risk of TB.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the
Addressing social determinants of tuberculosis (TB) is essential to achieve elimination, including in low-incidence settings. We measured the association between socio-economic status and intermediate social determinants of health (SDHs, including drug misuse, tobacco smoking and alcohol), and TB,
BACKGROUND
Data on the association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in children are limited.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the dose-response effect of ETS exposure on the risk of M. tuberculosis infection in children in a high tuberculosis (TB)
Tobacco exposure is an important risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) when considering its effects on population-level disease outcomes. If we hope to gain control over TB globally, we must begin to think 'outside of the box' to identify an extended and multi-faceted intervention strategy that is
BACKGROUND
Tobacco smoke alters lung defense mechanisms against infections and so increases the risk of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the particular clinical features of tuberculosis in smokers and identify risk factors.
METHODS
We conducted a prospective,
OBJECTIVE
Numerous studies evaluate the influence of tobacco smoking on the tuberculosis (TB) development, with the results indicating that smoking can be also considered as important risk factor in TB. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of tobacco smoking as the risk factor in the
BACKGROUND
Tuberculosis (TB) patients who smoke tobacco are at an increased risk for adverse TB treatment outcomes. This study describes tobacco use patterns among newly diagnosed TB patients, their readiness to quit, and their beliefs about tobacco-related health effects in a high HIV-burden
