Background
The World Health Organization (WHO)
estimates that approximately one third of the
total population of the world harbors tubercle
bacilli in a latent form A new infection occurs every secondA new infection occurs every second

Background
IUTLD-NAR Meeting 2006
The WHO also estimates that each year
more than 9 million new cases of tuberculosis
occur and approximately 2 million persons
die from the disease One case can infect from 10 to 15 One case can infect from 10 to 15

Bacteriology
MTB belongs to the
genus Mycobaterium
Mycobacterium
tuberculosis complex
o M. tuberculosis
o M. bovis
o M. africanum
o M. microti
o M. canetti
![Page 9: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Nontuberculous mycobacterium (MOTT) In the US up 30 % of the isolates are NTM
(rate: 1.8 per 100,000 h. The most common NTM are:
o Mycobacterium avium complex (60 %)
o Mycobacterium fortuitum (20 %)
o Mycobacterium kansasii (10 %)
![Page 10: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pathogenesis Tuberculosis is spread from person to person
through the air by droplet nuclei, particles <5 mm in diameter that contain M. tuberculosis complex
![Page 11: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pathogenesis
4 factors determine the risk of infection: o the number of organisms
being expelled into the airo the concentration of
organisms in the air (volume of the space and its ventilation)
o the length of time an exposed person breathes the contaminated air
o the immune status of the
exposed individual
![Page 12: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HIV-infected persons and others with impaired cell-mediated immunity are thought to be more likely to become infected with M. tuberculosis after exposure than persons with normal immunity
![Page 13: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Also, HIV-infected persons and others with impaired cell-mediated immunity are much more likely to develop disease if they are infected
![Page 14: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pathogenesis
Inhalation and deposition in the lungs of the tubercle bacillus leads to one of four possible outcomes:o immediate clearance of the organism
o chronic or latent infection
o rapidly progressive disease (or primary disease)
o active disease months to years after the infection (reactivation disease)
![Page 15: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pathogenesis
Only 5 to 10 percent of patients with no underlying medical problems who become infected develop active disease in their lifetime
The risk increases markedly in patients with AIDS
![Page 16: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pathogenesis
Once they are inhaled, the bacilli will
reach the distal bronchioles and alveoli
Inside the alveolar macrophages M.
tuberculosis will multiply slowly (once
every 24-32 hours) and kill the cell
![Page 17: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pathogenesis
The infected macrophages produce cytokines that attract other phagocytic cells which eventually form a nodular granulomatous structure called the tubercle
![Page 18: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pathogenesis
If the bacterial replication is not controlled, the tubercle enlarges and the bacilli enter the local draining lymph nodes
The lesion produced by the expansion of the tubercle into the lung parenchyma and lymph node involvement is called the Ghon complex
![Page 20: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Primary complex (Gohn’s)
![Page 21: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pathogenesis
Failure by the host to mount an effective CMI response and tissue repair leads to progressive destruction of the lung
If the bacterial growth continues to remain
unchecked, the bacilli may spread
hematogenously to produce disseminated TB
![Page 22: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
HIV-infected persons, especially those with low CD4+ cell counts, develop tuberculosis disease rapidly after becoming infected with M. tuberculosis
Up to 50 percent of such persons may do so in the first two years after infection with M. tuberculosis
![Page 23: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Conversely, an individual who has a prior
latent infection with M. tuberculosis (not
treated) and then acquires HIV infection will
develop tuberculosis disease at an
approximate rate of 5 to 10 percent per year
![Page 24: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Voluntary HIV counseling and testing is recommended for all patients with TB and should be considered the standard of care
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005; 172:1169Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005; 172:1169
![Page 25: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Physicians who provide primary care to persons with HIV infection or populations at increased risk for HIV infection should maintain a high index of suspicion for TB
Every patient in whom HIV infection has been newly diagnosed should be assessed for the presence of TB or LTBI
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005; 172:1169Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005; 172:1169
![Page 26: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The risk depends, however, on the degree of
immunosuppression—the risk of a patient
with AIDS developing tuberculosis is 170
times higher than a non immunosuppressed
person
![Page 27: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reactivation disease
Reactivation TB results when the persistent bacteria in a host suddenly proliferate
While immunosuppression is clearly associated with reactivation TB, it is not clear what host factors specifically maintain the infection in a latent state for many years and what triggers the latent infection to become overt
![Page 28: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Reactivation disease
Immunosuppressive conditions associated with reactivation TB include:o HIV infection and AIDSHIV infection and AIDS
o end-stage renal disease
o diabetes mellitus
o malignant lymphoma
o corticosteroid use
o old age
![Page 29: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Clinical manifestations
![Page 30: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Clinical manifestations
In immunocompetent individuals, 85% of the cases are exclusively pulmonary, and the rest have extrapulmonary manifestations
This distribution is modified in HIV patients: o 38% exclusively pulmonary
o 30% extrapulmonary
o 32% pulmonary + extrapulmonary
![Page 31: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Systemic manifestations
Fever (37-80%)
Weight loss
Night sweats
Loss of appetite
Malaise

Pulmonary TB
Cough: is the most common symptom
Sputum, hemoptysis
Pleuritic pain
Dyspnea

Radiographic manifestations
![Page 34: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Radiographic findings
PTB is almost associated to radiographic
abnormalities
Patients with HIV and PTB might have a
normal chest x-ray
![Page 35: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
![Page 36: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Radiographic findings
In patients with HIV infection, the nature of the x-ray findings depends to a certain extent on the degree of immunocompromise produced by the HIV infection
TB that occurs relatively early in the course of HIV infection tends to have the typical x-ray findings of the immunocompetent patient
![Page 38: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Radiographic findings
With more advanced HIV disease the
radiographic findings become more
"atypical": cavitations is uncommon, and
lower lung zone or diffuse infiltrates and
intrathoracic adenopathy are frequent
![Page 39: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Disseminated tuberculosis
![Page 41: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Disseminated tuberculosis
The term "miliary" is derived from the visual similarity of some disseminated lesions to millet seeds
Grossly, these lesions are 1- to 2-mm yellowish nodules that, histologically, are granulomas
Thus disseminated tuberculosis is sometimes called "miliary" tuberculosis
![Page 42: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Disseminated TB
Because of the multisystem involvement in disseminated tuberculosis, the clinical manifestations are protean
The presenting symptoms and signs are generally nonspecific and are dominated by systemic effects, particularly fever, weight loss, night sweats, anorexia, and weakness
Other symptoms depend on the relative severity of disease in the organs involved
![Page 46: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Laboratory diagnosis
![Page 48: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Diagnosis
Microscopy:o this is principally applied to sputum but other
specimens include bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, gastric washings, laryngeal swabs, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural, pericardial and peritoneal effusions, fine needle lymph node aspirates, bone marrow aspirates, and tissue biopsies.
![Page 49: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Diagnosis
A wide range of acid-fast smear positivity has been reported (31 to 81 percent), but most studies find a 50 to 60 percent yield
The yield is substantially higher (85 to 100 percent) on sputum culture
![Page 50: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
![Page 51: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Mycobacteria cultures
![Page 53: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Diagnosis
In patients infected with HIV, a positive smear for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) is very specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), even in a setting with a high incidence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)
![Page 54: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Diagnosis
At San Francisco General Hospital, for example, 248 of 271 (92 percent) expectorated sputum samples which were positive for AFB grew MTB on culture
This value is comparable to that found in HIV-negative patients.
![Page 55: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Diagnosis
Urine cultures – Although genitourinary TB rarely occurs in the absence of other sites of extrapulmonary disease, it is frequently involved in disseminated TB, even in the absence of pyuria
In one series, for example, 77% HIV-infected patients with extrapulmonary TB whose urine was sent for culture grew MTB
![Page 56: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Diagnosis
Invasive testing should be performed when noninvasive studies yield no immediate answer and the wait for culture results would be detrimental to the patient
Bronchoscopy is a sensitive technique for diagnosing TB
An immediate diagnosis can be made from AFB smears in about one-half of patients, and the sensitivity of cultures approaches 100 percent
![Page 57: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Diagnosis
The central nervous system is frequently involved in disseminated TB
Given the number of opportunistic infections affecting the central nervous system in AIDS, there should be a low threshold for collecting CSF

Diagnosis
In a patient with suspected miliary disease and a negative sputum examination, bone marrow biopsy as well as blood cultures should be performed
Blood cultures are positive in 49 percent of patients with disseminated disease and CD4 counts less than 100/mm3

Molecular methods
The application of nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) amplification techniques—the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the ligase chain reaction (LCR)—is the subject of intense research activity
As a result, a number of rapid, sensitive, and specific test kits are commercially available

Treatment of HIV related tuberculosis The standard WHO recommended
antituberculosis regimen is a six month course of RIF and INH, PZA, together with ETH (or SM) during the first two months of treatment
Supplementation with daily pyridoxine (vitamin B6) to prevent isoniazid induced neuropathy is now routine
![Page 75: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
There is little or no difference in relapse rate between HIV infected and uninfected patients when RIF based short course treatment is used
Thus, in the absence of drug resistance, the standard short course just described is recommended
![Page 76: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Antituberculous drug interactions A number of interactions between
antituberculosis agents and other drugs have been described
Most interactions are associated with RIF due to its ability to induce cytochrome CYP450 enzymes in the liver which affect the metabolism of many other drugs
![Page 77: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Antituberculous drug interactions The current recommendation is to replace
RIF by rifabutin, a much less powerful inducer of cytochrome enzymes, and to start or continue with the antiretroviral drugs
![Page 78: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Management recommendations for the use
of ARV + antituberculosis drugs
Frequent communication between TB and HIV care providers
Adjust dose of rifabutin as needed Use rifampin with efavirenz or ritonavir (>400
mg BID)

Antituberculous drug interactions Even if rifabutin is substituted for RIF, care
should be exercised in the use of the protease inhibitor saquinavir and the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors as rifabutin decreases their levels, with the risk of selection of drug resistant viruses
![Page 80: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

Paradoxical reactions (immune reconstitution syndrome) These manifest as fever, enlargement of
affected lymph nodes, and a worsening of the radiological appearance
![Page 82: Rafael Laniado-Laborin MD, MPH, FCCP Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f9a8/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Paradoxical reactions (immune reconstitution syndrome) These reactions are not indicative of
treatment failure and usually subside spontaneously
Treatment should not be modified but short courses of steroids may be required for severe paradoxical reactions.

In view of the very high risk of a co-infected person developing active TB, and the adverse effect of this disease on the immune status and survival of the patient, there is a very good theoretical case for provision of prophylactic treatment for those at risk
