Miliary tuberculosis (MT) is a severe form of tuberculosis secondary to hematogenous spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Objective: To report a case of MT complicated by pneumothorax. Methodology: This was a 25-year-old patient, farmer, followed up at the Pneumo-phtisiology department of the CHU du Point G for MT whose condition was improving after the introduction of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. He consulted again after experiencing chest pain. Clinical and imaging revealed a Spontaneous pneumothorax complicating MT. The treatment combined anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, chest drainage and respiratory physiotherapy. Outcome was favorable with improvement of clinical and radiological signs. Conclusion: Pneumothorax complicating MT requires a reflective diagnostic approach and rapid management to improve its prognosis.展开更多

Disrupting either of the reactions will fulfill the purpose of inhibiting the replication of HIV-1. In this paper, pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking are employed to investigate the inhibition mechanism of the HIV-1 IN strand transfer inhibitors （INSTIs）. Based on the results, we suggest that the inhibition mechanism of INSTIs involves the inhibitor chelating the cofactors Mg2＋ and its forming hydrogen bonds with some crucial residues adjacent to the DDE active center.展开更多
