Research Results from Trichy SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre Update Understanding of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Prevalence and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida Infections in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A...).

A recent study conducted at Trichy SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre in India focused on the prevalence and antifungal susceptibility of Candida infections in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The research found a high prevalence of co-infection between pulmonary TB and Candida species, with C. albicans being the most common. The study highlighted the importance of early detection and treatment of opportunistic candidiasis in patients with pulmonary TB to improve outcomes. The findings suggest that antifungal drugs like amphotericin B and itraconazole could be effective treatments for these infections. [Extracted from the article]
