1 Case Presentations Part 2 Connie A. Haley, MD MPH University of Florida, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine Megan Ninneman, PA Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami FL Objectives Demonstrate the ability to apply principles of transmission and pathogenesis to case situations to effectively treat and improve outcomes of complex cases. Discuss the risk factors and clinical conditions associated with tuberculosis to ensure appropriate evaluation and initiation of treatment for TB. 1

2 Background United States tuberculosis (TB) rates are highest among the elderly and the foreign born populations. Louisville mirrors that pattern & accounts for most of Kentucky TB morbidity. Definitions: Refugees flee from persecution or armed conflict Migrants move for cultural, economic reasons, but not forcibly moved Kentucky TB in Kentucky 67 cases of TB reported in 2015; ranked 34 th among states. Refugees in Kentucky Estimated 1,990 refugees resettled in FY 2015 (ACF, 2016) Approximately 3% of all refugees Approximately 10,800 refugees were resettled in or moved to the Louisville between (Kentucky Wilson Fish Project, 2005) 2

3 Louisville TB in Louisville Approximately 30 active TB cases annually 80% are among foreign born Drug budget $60,000 annually Refugees in Louisville Most refugees settle in Louisville Refugee agencies locally are Catholic Charities of Louisville and Kentucky Refugee Ministries Case study 54 y.o. male born in Bhutan, requires interpreter arrived in US from Nepali refugee camp How should you evaluate him for TB/LTBI? 3

4 Case study T spot was positive Nil (negative) Panel A spot 13 Panel B spot 12 Positive control spot count > : Evaluated by LHD Reported shortness of breath and weight loss No cough, fever, chills, night sweats, chest pain, hemoptysis, appetite loss, fatigue, or lymphadenopathy or other physical findings Current CXR: RUL apical scarring 4

5 Case study What additional history should you get? Case study What should you do now? 5

6 No Loose Solution For patients with a positive TST or IGRA and an abnormal CXR suggestive of TB, including possibly prior TB with fibronodular changes: Obtain cultures and susceptibilities with molecular test Start 4 drug therapy for TB disease (INH, RIF, PZA, EMB) Re evaluate for clinical/radiographic improvement at 2 mo If no improvement, stop therapy and close as having completed LTBI therapy. If improved, treat for culture negative TB disease (4 mo.) If risk of drug resistance (e.g., foreign born, previously treated, exposed to MDR TB) continue all 4 drugs for 4 mo. Case study Prescribed 9 months of INH : Reports weakness, weight loss, burning pain in legs, referred to PCP : PCP evaluated him but complaints had resolved; Dx DM (HGbA1C 10.3), OA both knees Burning in legs persisted during therapy Reported he completed INH

7 Case study : Presented to ER reporting sudden fever, shaking, felt chilled prior week, denied cough or SOA : CXR patchy airspace disease RML, both LL Concerning for small L effusion Case study What is the most appropriate step at this time? 7

8 Case study CT Chest: Acute LLL pneumonia with predominately posterior subpleural consolidation; Irreg nodular airspace disease RML, likely acute pneumonia Now he reports having prior TB. What would you do at this point? Case study : AFB culture from grew MTB CXR: compared to , new irregular opacity on periphery of R mid lung. Chronic R. apical scarring 8

9 Case study GeneXPERT (+) rifampin resistance (rpob mutation) Isolate sent to CDC for MDDR* Held initiation of treatment until MDDR results available to guide appropriate therapy Home isolation *MDDR= molecular detection of drug resistance Case study: Overseas Screening Hx Treated for TB in Asia, 1990 (not reported at immigration screening?) Contact to a TB case in the neighborhood. Grew very ill with fatigue, appetite loss, and cough. Received TB Tx for 12 months; first 90d was daily shot and one pill; remaining 9 mos was one pill/d (possibly was SM + INH or combination pill of rifamate=rif/inh or rifateur=inh/rif/pza). CXR showed resolution after treatment Screened overseas, despite abnormal CXR of R upper lobe scarring, negative cultures, allowed to immigrate without treatment for TB 9

10 Case study MDDR confirmed resistance to RIF, INH, PZA, EMB, Streptomycin, PAS, Ethionamide Susceptible to ofloxacin, capreomycin, amikacin But, sample was collected before he was treated with LQ Susceptible to linezolid and bedaquiline (CDC research panel ; will report on request) Susceptible to cycloserine (National Jewish lab) Repeat C&S, MDDR on sample collected after he completed levaquin susceptibility ultimately confirmed pages/drug resistant tuberculosis survival guide clinicians 3rd edition 10

11 Building a Treatment Regimen for MDR TB pages/drug resistant tuberculosis survival guide clinicians 3rd edition Case study Pre XDR Regimen: 1. Bedaquiline 2. Capreomycin 3. Cycloserine 4. Linezolid 5. Imipenem + clavulanate (iv) 6. Clofazamine 7. Moxifloxacin (didn t count it until confirmed susceptible) 8. B other medicines 11

12 CXR 13 months into therapy TB Program Resources Treated with 4 drugs at cost of $77,000 annually, total 2 yrs. Louisville HD costs $33,000 55% of TB drug budget Large contact investigation in the home and community required significant additional resources 12

13 Contact Investigation Setting Adult Day Care (ADC) caters to immigrant and refugees Daily census 50 to 100 clients, elderly & chronic illness Daily routine includes meals and activities Multiple community rooms for TV and games and other activities Clients primarily elderly with range of medical problems including dementia Contact Investigation Results After 2 nd round Family 6 members All contact investigations completed 4 family members started on LTBI therapy 2 family members had negative TSTs/IGRA & X rays ADC clients 94 attendees 92 contact investigations complete; 2 lost to follow up 17 clients had positive TST/IGRA & negative X rays clients had negative TST/IGRA & negative X rays 4 clients started on LTBI therapy 1 client died; not related to TB ADC workers (n=26)/transport (n=1) 27 total 27 contact investigations complete 0 workers started on LTBI therapy 27 workers had negative TST/IGRA & X rays 13

14 Conclusions One case of MDR TB resulted in large local requirements of staff time and local cost expenditures Contact investigation will require one additional year of effort to monitor the contacts Similar cases can be expected given Louisville s resettlement of large numbers of refugees and immigrants Contact investigations in settings such as this ADC are especially difficult given the chronic health problems 2016 Global TB Report 14

21 TB Control Priorities in the U.S. 1. Detection and treatment of persons with active tuberculosis (TB) 2. Investigation of infectious cases to detect contacts who may have active TB or may be infected with risk of future TB 3. Prevent TB disease through targeted testing and treatment of LTBI 21

22 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Recommendation in 2016 *B Recommendation = USPSTF recommends this service. There is high certainty that the net benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty that the net benefit is moderate to substantial USPSTF Recommendation This recommendation applies to asymptomatic adults 18 years of age who are at increased risk for TB and are seen in primary care settings. Born in, or former residents of, countries with increased tuberculosis prevalence (e.g., Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam, India, China, Haiti, Guatemala) Currently live in, or have lived in, high risk congregate settings (e.g., homeless shelters, long term care facilities, correctional facilities) It does not apply to adults with symptoms of TB disease or children and adolescents 22

23 Additional Populations at Risk for LTBI The recommendation does not address the additional need for LTBI testing in other high risk populations. CDC recommends the following populations continue to be tested for LTBI as part of other screening efforts: Persons with immunosuppression (e.g. HIV/AIDS, immunosuppressive medications, silicosis): TB testing is conducted by specialists. Persons who are contacts of persons with active TB disease: TB testing is conducted as part of public health programs. Health care workers and workers in high risk congregate settings: TB testing is conducted as part of employee health programs. 23

24 Evaluation of Persons with Positive TB Test Results Person has a positive test for TB infection TB disease ruled out Consider for LTBI treatment Person accepts and is able to receive treatment of LTBI If person refuses or is unable to receive treatment for LTBI, follow up TST or IGRA and serial chest radiographs are unnecessary Develop a plan of treatment with patient to ensure adherence CDC: Educate patient about the signs and symptoms of TB disease Isoniazid Isoniazid LTBI Treatment Susceptible Disease Recommended regimens Drug Frequency Duration Issues Abbrev Daily Twice weekly 9 months (6 months) 9 months (6 months) Long duration, poor adherence Directly observed, long duration 9H 9H DOT Rifampin Daily 4 months** Drug interactions 4R Isoniazid + rifapentine Isoniazid + rifampin Rifampin + pyrazinamide Once weekly 3 months DOT 3HP Daily Other regimens (not recommended in the US) Daily or 2x/week 3 months 2 months ** 4 months of Rifampin now recommended for children Not in U.S. recommendations Potentially fatal: NOT RECOMMENDED 3HR 2RZ 24

28 Figure (not our patient) demonstrates right upper lobe linear opacities, apical pleural thickening, and volume loss. Note the elevation of the right hilum and hemi diaphragm. Post primary tuberculosis often associated with significant fibrosis. The resultant scarring can cause volume loss of the involved lung or lobe. Fibrotic lesions may indicate either active or prior TB can only distinguish with clinical and microbiological evaluation. Presence of parenchymal opacities representing old healed TB increases risk of progression to TB in individuals who received inadequate prior treatment for TB or LTBI.

29 Case 30 yo Asian woman noted to have abnormal CXR prior to employment screening as a health care worker. She had a positive TST 4 years earlier, for which she was treated 9 months of INH. She denies symptoms, has no underlying medical conditions, and is a non smoker Case 29

30 Case Based on your reading of this CXR, what is the best next step? 1. Collect 3 sputums for AFB smear and culture (and genexpert) 2. Begin treatment of LTBI with INH 3. Repeat the TST 4. Repeat the CXR in 6 months Case She was started on 4 drugs for 2 months, then reevaluated. Cultures were negative. Follow up CXR was obtained. 30

31 Case Case Which of the following is the most appropriate next step? 1. Continue multi drug therapy for TB disease 2. Obtain a CT scan 3. Perform a FNA of the nodule 4. Perform a bronchoscopy to obtain a better respiratory specimen 31
