1 Tb : Recent recommendation Dr.Ketan Shah

2 Tbc : Clinician If you think It is easy to diagnose : u r not good clinician It is difficult to diagnose :U r not alone doctor to think this 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 2

3 6/22/2015 5yrs/Female- Vibhuti FTT Poor appetite Wt < 25 th percentile O/E ; no lymph-adenopathy No organo-megaly Repeatedly parents insist for FTT Pediatrician has not kept Growth chart Frustrated Pediatrician asked for MT Ketan Shah IAP surat 3

4 Look at the lab request 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 4

5 MT : most trusted test????? Report 10 mm of indurations and 15 mm of erythema MT strength 10Tu/0.1 ml 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 5

8 TST (MT)FAQs TST >20 mm Suggest Just infection not sever disease Ulceration = severe disease? What if comes after 7 days? read BCG test more useful? No Repeat TST after completion of ATT? No Reactivation or re-infection what happens to TST? No correlation 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 8

9 TST MT : most un--trusted and asked test. Mantoux test suggest infection with MTB not disease, Isolated positive test does not merit treatment 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 9

67 What is status of chemoprophylaxis for contacts of MDR TB? 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 67

68 Causes of Drug resistance Essentially drug resistance is a man made phenomenon Providers/Programmes: Inadequate regimens Drugs: Inadequate supply Poor quality Patients: Inadequate drug intake 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 68

69 What is X DR TB? Extensive drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) is defined as a multidrug-resistant TB strain which is also resistant to Quinolones and one of the injectable XDR-TB is related to the poor management of MDR-TB cases (which in turn is the consequence of sub optimally managed susceptible TB). Countries with high incidence of MDR-TB are at high risk for emergence of XDR-TB. 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 69

70 Resistant tuberculosis: Drugs used and their doses Drugs Dose per kg per day Ethionamide (PO) Cycloserine (PO) Ciprofoxacin (PO) Ofloxacin 10 (PO) Kanmycin 15 (IM) Amikacin 15 (IM) 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 70

72 Suraj, 3 years boy, resident of UP Known HIV positive for past 5 months on Three ART (lamivudine, nevirapine and stavudine) P/c: fever, cough, breathing difficulty: 15 days Treated with oral antibiotics (Augmentin) No improvement Mother died of HIV illness 2 months ago and had severe emaciation Father is HIV positive but asymptomatic 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 72

73 X-ray /CT and BAL proved tuberculosis of lungs 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 73

74 Q1: How to manage this patient? Shall we give ATT alone or ATT and ART? If both than what modifications in ART? 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 74

75 Considerations for the choice of first-line ARV regimens in children receiving rifampicin containing TB treatment The co-management of TB and HIV, and the treatment of HIV infection, is complicated by drug interactions, particularly rifampicin and the NNRTI and PI These drugs have similar routes of metabolism and coadministration results in subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 75

76 HIV TB co-infection In HIV-infected children with TB disease, the initiation of TB treatment is the priority. Optimal timing for the initiation of ART during TB treatment is not known Decision on when to start ART after starting TB treatment is balance of following child s age pill burden potential drug interactions overlapping toxicities and possible immune reconstitution syndrome versus the risk of further progression of immune suppression with its associated increase in mortality and morbidity. 6/22/2015 Ketan Shah IAP surat 76
