Framework: Elements of National Elimination Strategy Ending Neglect: The Elimination of Tuberculosis in the United States Institute of Medicine Report published in 2000 CDC response includes 6 goals that are elements of elimination strategy in United States
Goal I: Maintain Control 5 components: detection of TB cases; treatment of TB cases; investigation of contacts; treatment of infected contacts; infection control Importance of oversight and support by health department to ensure patients complete treatment DOT and incentives and enablers: effective, but resource intensive and difficult to sustain Alternatives, e.g., video or e-dot Loss of expert personnel, especially experienced public health nurses Goal II: Accelerate the Decline 3 components: addressing LTBI; regionalizing; genotyping and outbreak detection and response Genotyping is useful, but different applications based on incidence Low incidence not as valuable for outbreak detection, may be more useful for detecting false positives Methods with better resolution needed in some situations (WGS) Insufficient surge capacity to respond to outbreaks
Latent M. tuberculosis infection (LTBI) Problem is vast, and a major initiatives are needed Registry and a surveillance system Scale up of testing to targeted populations More focused guidance on who to target Eliminate wasteful testing of low-risk persons Specific funding for IGRAs, especially for foreign-born Scale up of short course LTBI treatment (3HP, 4R) Communication, outreach Engagement of affected communities and their medical providers Goal III: New tools Shorter treatment regimens for TB and LTBI Point-of-care diagnostics LTBI test that predicts who will get TB disease Vaccine
Goal IV: Global TB Focus on screening of immigrants in the United States Overseas priorities Expansion of screening for TB disease to populations beyond permanent immigrants and refugees Addition of LTBI testing and treatment to current overseas screening program Goal V: Mobilize and Sustain Support Need better messages simple, clear and memorable Need more active champions and advocates Focus on the affected communities
Goal VI: Track Progress Use standard national indicators Sometimes not as relevant to low-incidence states Flexible program evaluation Thank You! Questions?
