TB and HIV
 Increased risk of TB with HIV infx
 Risk doubles w/in 1st year, then progressively increases
with decreasing CD4 count
 HIV accelerates progression of TB
 Increased risk of AIDS or death
 TB --> generalized immune activation --> increase CD4 cell
circulation --> targeted by HIV
 Increased CCR5 and CXCR4 (HIV coreceptors) with TB
coinfection
 TB associated with increased HIV viremia
 Viremia

Clinical Manifestations

 Risk of extrapulmonary and disseminated

immunosuppression
 Lymph nodes, pleura
TB and HIV
Diagnosis
 PPD
 CD4 count >350: PPD + strongly suggestive of TB
 CD4 count <350: PPD not reliable

 Not useful for diagnosing active TB where prevalence
is high

 Normal CXR does not eliminate possibility of TB

 CXR
 In HIV-positive patients
 As CD4 count drops, more likely to have atypical CXR
findings
 Non-cavitary
y ppulmonary
y infiltrates
 No preference for upper lung fields
 Normal CXR
 More common when CD4 <200
 Chest CT - more sensitive
 Gastric aspiration
Diagnosis of TB
 Sputum smear: sensitivity 45-80%
 HIV: Smear-negative pulmonary TB common d/t lower
likelihood of pulmonary cavities
 A positive AFB is very specific for M. tuberculosis
 Sputum culture: sensitivity 85
85-100%
100%
 Lymph Node Biopsy
 FNA + in 75% of cases, bx with cx --> 96%
 Bronchoscopy
 To be avoided; aerosols of infectious droplets
 BUT it is a sensitive diagnostic technique
 AFB smears + in 50% of pts, culture + in ~100%
Diagnosis of TB
 Fluorescence microscopy (FM)
 Comparable specificity to smears,
smears but ~10%
greater sensitivity
 FM (vs. smears) may be more cost-effective and
expedite
dit dx

 Urine culture
 77% of HIV pos pts w/ extrapulmonary TB grew
M. tuberculosis
 CSF, pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal fluid
 High protein, low glucose, lymphocytosis,
(elevated ADA)
 PCR
 Sensitive for rapid detection in blood, sputum, or
urine
Treatment of Latent TB

Infection
 Indications for treatment
 PPD > 5mm





HIV
Recent contacts of a TB case
Persons with fibrotic changes on CXR consistent with old TB
Transplant patients
Immunosuppressed
 PPD > 10mm
 Recent arrivals (< 5 years) from high-prevalence countries
 IV drug users
 Residents and employees of high-risk congregate settings (e.g.,
correctional facilities, nursing homes, homeless shelters, hospitals,
and other health care facilities)
 Mycobacteriology laboratory personnel
 Children < 4 years of age, or children and adolescents exposed to
adults in high-risk categories
 PPD > 15 mm (none of the above risk factors)
 Treatment – Daily INH for 9 months
Treatment of Active Disease

Initial Phase (8 weeks)


Daily INH, RIF, PZA, and EMB for 56 doses
Continuous phase (18 weeks)
 Daily INH and RIF for 126 doses
or
 Twice-weekly INH and RIF for 36 doses

Monthly sputum specimens




Monthly intervals until two consecutive specimens are negative on culture
Monitor for adverse effects
At end of initial phase to determine length of continuous phase
Directly observed therapy (DOT)


Health care worker or another designated person watches the TB patient swallow each dose of
the anti-TB drugs.
All patients taking drugs fewer than 7 days per week (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 5 days a week) must
receive DOT.

Rationale
Patient with extensive pulmonary TB has approximately 10

body.
 Frequency of spontaneous mutations conferring resistance to an individual

drug:
 1 in 107 for EMB
 1 in 108 for STM and INH
 1 in 1010 for RMP
 Chances of harboring a bacterium that is spontaneously resistant to both
INH and RMP is 1 in 106. Chances of harboring a bacterium that is
p
y resistant to all four drugs
g is 1 in 1015.

 Different drugs in the regimen have different modes of action.
 Using only single drugs result in rapid development of resistance and
treatment failure.

Special Considerations
 Children
 Guided by the source-case susceptibility results.
 If source unknown and circumstances suggest an increased risk of drug
resistance, treat with standard four-drug initial-phase regimen until
susceptibility pattern known.
 Ethambutol (EMB) can be used safely (15-20 mg/kg per day), in the
likelihood of INH resistance. Streptomycin,
p
y , kanamycin,
y , or amikacin also
can be selected as the fourth drug.
 Long-term use of fluoroquinolones in children has not been approved.
However, most experts agree that these drugs should be considered for
children with MDR TB
