National Survey of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in China Dr. Yanlin Zhao National Centre for Tuberculosis Control and Prevention of China CDC National TB Reference Laboratory, China CDC
BACKGROUND China lists as 2 nd among the 22 TB high-burden countries. In 1979, 1984/1985, 1990, 2000, nationwide epidemiological prevalence survey. Prevalence survey in 2000 shows 18.6% of initial resistance and 46.5% acquired resistance. During 1996~2008, 13 province have taken part in drugresistance surveillance organized by WHO/IUATLD. Initial: 14.8%~42.1%; Acquired: 33.7%~66% Estimation of MDR-TB in China: 5.0%, 26%
Objectives 1. To interpret the epidemiological status of drug resistant tuberculosis in China 2. To analyze the risk factor for drug resistance occurrence among tuberculosis patients 3. To explore the predominant mycobacterium bacillus biological characteristics in China 4. To understand the micro-evolution of the prevalent strains in China.
Selection of the 70 sites 70 clusters (sites) were selected according to new smear-positive cases reported by each province relative to the total number of cases nationwide in 2004 and 2005. All provinces should have at least one cluster.
Method 1.70 clusters(counties) from all 31 provinces 2.51 smear positive new cases and 17 smear positive retreatment cases with newly diagnosed 3. DST(proportion method) against 6 anti-tb drugs 1/29/2013 5

Database of investigation Data input double blinded input the data by Peking University and 100% recheck by NRL
DST work in NRL Lowenstein-Jensen (L-J) media and proportion method was used for DST. 6 anti-tb drugs were included: sonazied(inh), Rifampine(RFP), Streptomycin(SM), Ethembutol(EMB), ofloxacin (Ofx); Kanamycin(Km) Proficiency test for DST was done to NRL by Hong Kong Super-National reference laboratory. 10% of the isolates were randomly chosen to repeat DST, the outcome was eligible according to WHO s guideline. Species identification work in NRL Selective L-J media method was used.

Preventing MDRTB: new tools + system change Reduce sub-optimal treatment in CDC and hospital system by using treatment regimens based on resistance testing Make sure patients starting treatment in hospitals are followed up after discharge till they complete treatment; build linkage between hospital system and CDC system Improve treatment provided by TB hospitals: appropriate drug regimens, improved infection control, better follow-up after discharge Improve community case-management of patients on treatment (perhaps using adherence technology) January 29, 2013 2011 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 26

Preventing drug-resistant TB among new cases Who are the patients with no prior diagnosis of TB but given TB drugs? Likely suspected to have TB and started on TB drugs Did not receive a diagnosis of TB because proper diagnosis not made Took TB drugs long enough, but improperly, such that MDRTB developed Mostly treated in hospital system Importance of performing proper diagnosis January 29, 2013 of TB 2011 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 30
Implications for new drug R&D Important to turn off the tap of DR-TB Current factors causing DR-TB will lead to rapid loss of any new drug to resistance Urgency in light of new TB drugs becoming available TMC-207, OPC67683, linozelid Need to improve system, adopt new diagnostics, and use new drugs in a rational manner in order to prevent DR-TB Level of quinolone resistance has 2011 Bill & Melinda Gates January 29, 2013 Foundation 31
Questions continues What s the population structure of the prevalent TB strains in China? What advantages do they have to become the prevalent strains? How do the prevalent strains interact with hosts and environment?
