202/03/28 Requiring tuberculin skin tests before implementing IPT leads to avoidable and substantial number of TB cases Golub JE et al. 8 th International AIDS Conference, abstract MOAB0305, Vienna, 200.

AIS20. Abstract no. WELBB02) p-value 0.233 <0.00 <0.00 <0.00 Conclusion of evidence Questions? It is feasible to implement IPT at scale Implement 6 months IPT can be delivered safely with clinical monitoring by trained nursing staff IPT not associated with increased INH resistance IPT with ART reduces TB incidence and mortality IPT reduces TB in HIV clinics Requiring TST delays initiation of IPT results in substantial numbers of preventable TB. IPT A. Has not been shown to reduce mortality (death) B. Should be given with ART C. Is contraindicated with any alcohol use D. Is the responsibility of the TB programme 2. IPT and ART A. Once patient controlled on ART, IPT will have no effect B. In asymptomatic patients with CD4 <350, 6 months IPT should be completed before ART initiated C. Randomised controlled trials have shown IPT is effective for patients on ART D. IPT before ART may reduce the risk of IRIS 6
202/03/28 3. Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) A. Is not needed in children < 5yrs before IPT is initiated B. Is a pre-requisite for IPT initiation in adults C. IPT is more effective in TST positive individuals D. Can be placed by any cadre of HCW 4. INH resistance A. The TB bacillus divides rapidly, therefor INH resistance can easily develop B. May be the reason why the effect of IPT seems to wane over time C. Is not regarded as a consequence of IPT D. Is not clinically significant 5. Screening for TB A. Clear CXR is essential before starting IPT B. Symptom screen in HIV positive patients includes cough > 2 weeks C. Must occur monthly for patients on IPT D. Is not required at HCT IPT Endorsed by WHO Endorsed by South African Department of Health Remember children!! How? Who should provide: HIV programme with TB TB programme to assist with HIV prevention efforts TB to assist in obtaining INH Part of a package of care } Nutritional support, family planning, CD4 } TB symptom screen } IPT } NB Cotrimoazole to all TB patients Previous PCP Eligibility No active liver disease No alcohol abuse Eclude active TB TB symptom screen Can be given in pregnancy 7
202/03/28 TB symptom screen Sensitive TB symptom screen Do you have a cough (>24 hrs.)? Do you have loss of weight? Do you sweat a lot at night? Do you have fever? CXR Adds to sensitivity but additional barrier Not recommended in SA guidelines for asymptomatic pts Valuable in symptomatic pts with negative smears (as per National guidelines) TST OUT!!! Not routine SA DOH IPT Guidelines 200, p.g. 9 If in doubt... DO not give IPT Investigate for Smear positive TB Smear negative TB- NB algorithmn includes CXR Etra-pulmonary TB If all negative Reassess for IPT after 3 months Treatment INH 5mg/kg dly (ma.300mg/day) Vit.B6 (Pyridoine) 25 mg dly Counsel Adherence Seek care if Side effects of INH (esp. hepatitis) Symptoms of active TB Monthly Monitoring TB symptom screen if symptomatic investigate Side effects Counselling Side effects: Hepatitis -3 per 000 NNRTI (NVP) Risk factors-age/liver disease/hep C/alcohol Ask about Nausea and vomiting Dark urine and pale stools Right upper quadrant pain Yellow eyes If hepatitis suspected Stop/ Do LFT (ALT) Refer 8
202/03/28 Side effects: Peripheral neuropathy May be eacerbated by Stavudine (D4T) Increase Pyridoine to 00mg dly If severe or worsens- stop INH Hypersensitivity Severe rash CNS Side effects: Rare Hearing voices or seeing things that are not actually there (psychosis) Convulsions Check reasons Adherence Complete 6 months within 9 months If defaults twice, consider stopping Defaulter tracing may not be effective use of resources Counselling Does not need to be taken on a full stomach (do not link it to meals) Patients to understand that they are not receiving TB treatment but only TB prevention No alcohol HIV counseling including Prevention- use of condoms Stay in care- regular monitoring ART as soon as eligible/ continue ART Conclusion It is feasible to implement IPT at scale TB screening, using symptoms and CXR, prior to starting IPT misses very few cases Requiring TST delays initiation of IPT and results in substantial numbers of preventable TB cases occurring IPT can be delivered safely with clinical monitoring by trained nursing staff IPT not associated with increased INH resistance IPT with ART reduces TB incidence and mortality IPT reduces TB in HIV clinics 9
