|---|---|
| TUBERCULOSIS Leprosy, and Mycobacterium avium Complex Infection | CAUSED BY THREE SPECIES OF MYCOBACTERIA M.TB, M.LEPRAE, M.AVIUM TREAT WITH SAME DRUG SLOW GROWING MICROBE PROLONGED TEATMENT POOR PATIENT ADHERENCE=EMERGENCE OF DRUG-RESISTANT MYCOBACTERIA |
| Global epidemic | ~2 billion infected worldwide Kills ~ 1.3 million people a year New cases in the USA are declining Cases outside the United States are increasing •95% occur in developing countries•Increase due to AIDS and emerging multidrug-resis |
| Pathogenesis | M. tuberculosis May be limited to lungs or may disseminate United States: Approximately 10 million people harbor tubercle bacilli but show no symptoms |
| TEACHING | Transmitted from person to person Inhalation of infected, aerosolized sputumtant mycobacteria S/S COUGHING BLOOD, SNEEZING NIGHT SWEAT AND WEIGHT LOSS |
| TEACHING | Immunity usually develops within a few weeks (body fight infection-latent infection) 90% with normal immune systems never develop clinical or radiologic evidence of TB |
| TEACHING-TREAT WITH 2 OR MORE DRUGS | TB IMMUNE SYS. FAILS TO CONTROL PRIMARY INFECTION NECROSIS(DEATH) AND CAVITAION OF LUNG TISSUE SEVER W/O TRTs REACTIVATION RENEWAL OF DORMANT TUBERCLE BACILLI 60% OF NEW INFECTIONS MAY BE CAUSED BY REACTIVATION |
| TEACHING | Treatment is considered effective when no mycobacteria are observed in sputum and no colonies are present in culture |
| DIAGNOSIS | INDICATION FOR TESTING NIGHT SWEAT, HEMOPTYSIS, HIGH RISK, WEIGHT LOSS CHEST X-RAY-SPUTUM CULTURE HIGH IN HOMELESS HIGH RISK GROUP-HEALTHCARE |
| DRUG RESISTANCE | SOME CAN DEVELOP RESISTANCE WHILE BEING TREATED SOME STRAINS THAT ARE ESISTANCE TO SOME |
| MULTIPLE DRUG RESISTANCE(MDR) | TO ISONIAZID AND RIFAMPIN UP TO 24 MONTHS FOR MDR TB OR HIV/AIDS |
| EXTENSIVELY DRUG-RESISTANT TB(XDR TB) | RESISTANT ISONIAZID (INH) RIFAMPIN ALL FLUROQUINOLONES AT LEAST ONE OF THE INJECTABLE 2ND-LINE DRUGS |
| EVALUATION 9MONTHS REGIMENS | • Induction phase: Eliminate actively dividing tubercle bacilli • Continuation phase: Eliminate intracellular “persisters” 6MONTHS FOR DRUG-SENSITIVE TB - Bacteriologic evaluation of sputum - Clinical evaluation - Chest radiographs |
| PROMOTING TREATMNT ADHERENCE | DIRECTLY OBSERVED THERAPY PATIENT NONADHERENCE ALLOWS FOR ONGING ASSESSMENT OF CLINICAL SIGNS INTERMITTENT 2 OR 3 TIMES WEEKLY |
| LATENT TB ACTIVE IS WITH MORE DRUG, TO AVOID | CHEST X-RAY TO MAKE SURE NO ACTIVE TB TREAT W/ 1OR 2 DRUGS 7Y ISONIAZID ALONE FOR 9MTHS ISONIAZID + RIFAPENTINE WEEKLY FOR WEEKLY FOR 3MONTHS |

| TB skin test (TST) | QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) blood test - Blood tests for TB TST-- Test is read 48 to 72 hours after injection - + reaction is indicated by a region of induration (hardness) a |
| FLUROQUINOLONES | BROAD SPECTRUM -DISRUPT DNAREPLICATION AND CELL DIVISION |
| TEACHING | PO/IV RUPTURE ACHILLES TENDON NOT GIVEN <18YRS >60, TAKING GLUCORTICOID, KIDNEY LUNG TRANSPLANT |
