Tuberculosis

Ma. Anna P. Bañez, M.D. Department of Child Health

Mycobacteria

Classified into: a. M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) • M. tuberculosis: causes disease only in humans • M. bovis: causes disease in cattle, humans, other  mammals • M. africanum • M. microti

b. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (MOTT: Mycobacteria

Other Than Tuberculosis) • M. avium‐intracellulare • M. kansasii • Other species

Epidemiology

• WHO estimates that one third of the world’s  population: 2 billion are infected with M. tuberculosis • Infection rates highest in Africa, Asia, Latin America • Contributory Factors: –Impact of HIV epidemics –Population migration –Increasing poverty –Social upheaval –Crowded living conditions –Inadequate healthcare –Inefficient TB control programs

Epidemiology

• In 1998, Philippines ranked 2ndin Western  pacific region next to China • DOH data:  1995: 5thleading cause of mortality  (39.4/100,000)  1997: 5thleading cause of morbidity  (219/100,00) • PPS data:  1998: PTB 10thleading causes of morbidity  Extrapulmo TB 8thleading cause of mortality 

Transmission of M. tuberculosis

• Spread by droplet nuclei • Expelled when person with infectious TB  coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings • Close contacts at highest risk of becoming  infected • Transmission occurs from person with  infectious TB disease (not latent TB infection)

Peculiarities of Childhood TB

• Greater the risk of developing TB disease • Greater risk of extrapulmonary disease e.g.  miliary TB and TB meningitis • Rarely develop cavitary lesions • Lower bacillary load and bacteriologic  confirmation more difficult • Tolerate higher doses of anti‐TB drugs per  kilogram

2 | B a c t ê - P e d i a TB  infection TB  disease • 5 ‐ 15 % during the first 10 years following  primary infection • Infants – 50% within 3‐9 months • 1‐5 yr olds – 25% within 1‐2 years • Adolescents – 15% TB exposure TB  infection TB  disease Primary chemoprophylaxis Secondary chemoprophylaxis INH x 3 mos,  then if  PPD (+)  + 6 mos INH x 9  mos

Clinical Manifestations

• Cough / wheezing > 2 weeks • Fever > 2 weeks • Painless cervical and / or other  lymphadenopathy • Poor weight gain • Failure to make a quick return to health after  an infection e.g. measles, tonsillitis or pertussis • Failure to respond to appropriate antibiotics as  in AOM or pneumonia

Clinical Manifestations

• Signs and symptoms are nonspecific • ~ One‐half of children with TB disease do not  have signs and symptoms • Thus, the need for several criteria to be met to  prevent over diagnosis • Signs and symptoms very helpful in the case of  extrapulmonary TB

Clinical Forms of TB

Pulmonary / Endothoracic Tuberculosis Asymptomatic (Latent) TB infection (LTBI) Primary (Childhood) TB • The younger the patient, the greater risk of progressive  disease until age 5 years old

• Primary Complex:primary focus, lymphangitis & regional 

lymphadenitis • Most common signs and symptoms: non‐productive  cough, mild dyspnea, cervical lymphadenopathies, failure  to gain weight Pleurisy with Effusion • Early complication of primary infection, localized /  generalized, unilateral or bilateral • Abrupt onset like bacterial pneumonia: fever, chest pain,  short breath

Clinical Forms of TB

Pulmonary / Endothoracic Tuberculosis Progressive Primary TB • Primary focus develops a large caseous center, more  cough, malaise & weight loss; cavitation on chest X‐ ray Endobronchial TB • Enlarged peribronchial LN’s, compression : – Sudden death by asphyxia – Obstructive hyperaeration of a lobar segment,  lobe, entire lung – Atelectasis specially right middle lobe, right upper  lobe; maybe mistaken for asthma

Clinical Forms of TB

Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis of the CNS: Tuberculous meningitis • Most common type of TB of the CNS which may develop 3‐6 mos after an initial infection

• From a metastatic caseous lesion in the cerebral cortex /  meninges following lymphohematogenous dissemination of  primary infection • Accompany miliary TB in 50% 0f cases • Brainstem– most common site, frequent dysfunction of CN 3,6, 7 • Exudate interferes with CSF flow, communicating hydrocephalus • (+) vasculitis, infarction, cerebral edema and hydrocephalus  results in severe damage • Most common between 6 mo‐4yr • Signs and symptoms progress  slowly x weeks

Clinical Forms of TB

Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis of the CNS: Tuberculous meningitis 3 Stages:

Clinical Forms of TB

II. Pressure or convulsive seizure, meningeal signs, lethargy, neck  stiffness, seizure, cranial nerve palsies

III. Paralytic or Terminal Stage – posturing, profound neurologic and  sensorial changes with deterioration of vital signs, eventual death.  In infants, encephalitic manifestations predominate • TT nonreactive in 50% of cases • 20‐30% with normal CXR • CSF Analysis:lymphocyte predominance, decreased sugar,  markedly increased protein, AFB (+) 30%, (+) culture 50‐70% • CT Scan:basal enhancement, communicating hydrocephalus with  cerebral edema, focal ischemia Tuberculoma

Factors that Decrease Skin Test 

Reaction

• Very young age • Malnutrition • Immunosuppression by disease or drugs • Viral infections (measles, mumps, Varicella, influenzae) • Vaccination with live‐virus vaccines • Overwhelming TB –Up to 50% with TB meningitis & disseminated  disease ~10% immunocompetent children with TB disease have  false negative TT

Other Diagnostic Tests

AFB smear • 3 early morning specimens • Sputum / gastric aspirate /other body fluids • Offers only a presumptive diagnosis; represents  either M. tuberculosis or other non‐tuberculous mycobacterium Mycobacterial Culture • Low sensitivity in children • Not necessary if epidemiologic, tuberculin test  and x‐ray compatible with disease • Indicated if DRTB is suspected

Other Diagnostic Tests

Histologic Examination • Classic pathologic lesion: caseating granulomas Newer Diagnostic Tests • Antibody detection • Antigen detection • DNA probes • PCR

Newborns of Tuberculous Mothers

• Mother (+) TT, no evidence of disease, give BCG • Mother with disease but with treatment >/= 2 wks: – Start INH – Do TT at 4‐6 wks. –Continue INH  even if TT & CXR (‐) –Repeat TT after 3 mos, if (‐) discontinue INH and give BCG • If mother with disease without treatment: –Don’t separate –Start INH or Rifampicin depending on susceptibility of mom’s M. TB –Do TT & CXR on baby –If TT (‐): Repeat TT & CXR after 3 mos – if TT (+) but CXR (‐) : INH or Rifampicin x 6 mos –If TT & CXR (‐), and mom completed TX, give BCG • I mother with meningitis, miliary, bone / joint TB: – Consider Congenital TB – Do TT, CXR, AFB gastric aspirate & culture, LP – Quadruple treatment

Treatment

• Compliance must be ensured ‐DOTS is the  preferred strategy Evaluation of response to therapy mainly using  clinical criteria: improvement of appetite, well‐ being, disappearance of signs and symptoms  when present • Repeat chest x‐ray usually not necessary • For AFB (+) cases – monthly  bacteriologic  evaluation till negative (85% are negative  after 2 months, persistently + smear suggests  drug resistance) • Observe for drug adverse effects – jaundice,  hepatomegaly • No need for liver function monitoring unless  symptoms of drug‐induced hepatitis are  present

Treatment

Suspect drug resistance when the following are  present: • Previous intake of anti‐TB drugs > 1 month or  previous inadequate therapy • Contact with drug‐resistant adult case • Residence in areas with high primary Isoniazid resistance (>10%) • Failure to improve despite compliance with  therapy for at least 2 months • HIV / AIDS

Treatment

(7)

7 | B a c t ê - P e d i a • When resistance is suspected use an initial  regimen of 4 drugs with Ethambutol or  Streptomycin as the 4th drug • Treatment of extrapulmonary TB similar to  PTB but use longer course (up to 12 months)  for TB meningitis, skeletal or joint TB and in  immunocompromised patients • For all patients, contact assessment is  essential

Treatment

• BCG –Recent meta‐analysis of published BCG  vaccination trials suggested that BCG is 50%  effective in preventing pulmonary TB in adults and  children, and 50‐80% protective against  disseminated and meningeal TB
