    Abstract Both tuberculosis (TB) and melioidosis are endemic to certain parts of the world, including Brunei Darussalam, with TB being more widespread. Despite this, coinfection with TB and melioidosis is rarely encountered and reported. Although still uncommon, there has been an increase in the number of cases of this coinfection reported during the past 10 years, all of which have been in India and the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Region. We report a case of coinfection with pulmonary TB and melioidosis in a patient with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. This 64-year-old man presented with symptoms and radiological features of pulmonary TB, confirmed by sputum smear, but sputum culture also yielded

    Abstract Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients affects their health outcomes. Incidence and outcomes varied in the literature, particularly with different population and epidemiological demographics. Data remain scarce in the Southeast Asia region. We report the incidence, outcomes, pattern, types of AKI, and factors that influence AKI patient outcomes in Brunei Darussalam.
    Methods: All patients (N = 930) with COVID-19 who were admitted to the National Isolation Center (between 7th August 2021 and 30thSeptember 2021) were included in the study. The confirmation of AKI was based on the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) criteria.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 41.9 ± 14.4 years with diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) accounting for 11.7%, 29.1%, and 4.8% of comorbidities, respectively. Overall, 109 (11.7%) had AKI (KDIGO Stage 1 [67.9%], 2 [13.8%], and 3 [18.3%]), while 75.2% of the cases occurred pre-admission and 26.6% were cases of acute exacerbation of CKD. Univariate analysis identified age (odd ratio [OR] 1.06), male gender (OR 1.63), local nationality (OR 8.03), DM (OR 4.44), HT (OR 5.29), vascular disease (OR 6.08), presence of gastrointestinal symptoms (OR 2.08), antibiotic (OR 3.70) and nephrotoxins exposures (OR 8.57) as significant variables. Multivariate analysis showed age (adjusted OR [AOR] 1.04), male gender (AOR 1.67), gastrointestinal symptoms (AOR 1.61), antibiotic (AOR 2.34), and nephrotoxins exposure (AOR 4.73) as significant.
    Conclusions: Our study showed that one in nine patients with COVID-19 developed AKI with almost a third having stages 2 and 3 AKI. Older age, male gender, presence of GI symptoms, and antibiotic and nephrotoxin exposures were significant predictors of AKI. Patients with these factors should be prioritized for admission and treatment. Even though manifestations are generally now less severe, findings from this study can guide the management of COVID-19 as the disease enters the endemic stage. Furthermore, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic will provide useful information and knowledge for future viral outbreaks or pandemics.
