A case of TB from the 1950s II ‐ Treatment
• Bed Rest (1953‐1959)
• Chemotherapy (various courses 1953‐1959)

A case of TB from the 1950s III ‐ Discharge
• Discharge Diagnoses:
– Pulmonary TB, far advanced, bilateral
– Pregnancy (two occasions)
• delivered September 1956 and March 1958
• Discharge Medications:
– INH 300 mg qd and PAS 12 gm qd indefinitely (!)
• Other instructions:
– X‐ray and sputum q 3‐4 months
– Do no work

Schema of a typical modern case of TB
• January ‐March: progressive cough, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue. Several MD visits => considered “bronchitis”, “walking pneumonia”, “pertussis” etc. Various antibiotics have no effect.
• April 1: Referred to Infectious Disease specialist who finally “thinks TB” => presumptive Dx with 3 AFB positive smears (Dx later confirmed by +cultures)=> treatment begins April 4
• Treatment: daily for 2 weeks (3 days in hospital + 11 days) at home; then twice‐weekly for 24 weeks directly supervised at home, work, or in pool‐hall by a public health nurse (PHN); sucessful treatment (62 doses) ends October 4.
• PHN also completed contact investigation (home, work, and social contacts); identified infected but asymptomatic persons who were treated for latent TB infection (LTBI).

Robert Koch (1843‐1910)Discover of the “tubercle bacillus” in 1882

5
Some Landmarks in the History of Tuberculosis
• 1882 Koch discovers the tubercle bacillus
• 1890 Koch develops tuberculin (initially as Rx for TB?)
• 1895 Roengten discovers x‐rays
• 1900‐1960s Sanatoria as TB hospitals (bed rest + some surgery!)
• 1921 BCG vaccine (Bacillus of Calmette & Guerin = attenuted M. bovis)
• 1944 Streptomycin first used to treat a patient
• 1949 PAS (para‐aminosalycylic acid)
• 1952 Isoniazid (Rx often lasts 18‐24 months)
• 1954 Pyrazinamide
• 1962 Ethambutol
• 1963 Rifampin
• 1970s Rx shortened to 9 months for most pts
• 1980s Rx shortened to 6 months for most pts
• 1990s Challenges => MDRTB, TB+HIV=double trouble; Full magnitude of Global TB epidemic finally appreciated
Some Mycobacterial Species of Medical Importance
• M. TB complex
– M. tuberculosis
– M. bovis (including BCG)
– M. africanum
• Non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)
– M. avium‐intracellular (M. intracelluare, MAI, MAC)
– M. kansassi
– M. fortuitum
– M. chelonei
– (and several dozen other species)
• M. leprae [agent of Leprosy or “Hansen’s Disease]

Mycobacteriology Laboratory ‐ IIIAFB Smears
• Detects presence of mycobacteria (and occasionally other uncommon pathogens as well ‐ e.g. Nocardia)
• Cannot distinguish M. TB from NTM.
• Clue to possible diagnosis AND to potential infectiousness of patient.
• Always interpret in context of all other findings.

Mycobacteriology Laboratory ‐ IVMore Positive AFB Smears (*)
(*) Again with traditional Ziehl‐Neelsen staining which most hospitals can do
Mycobacteriology Laboratory ‐ VFluorochrome Method for Mycobacterial Smears
• More sensitive than traditional ZN staining
• Uses auramine‐rhodamine stain
• Requires special equipment which smaller hospitals will not have

Schema of the Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis
Lymphatics => systemic circulation via the thoracic duct
Dissemination via circulation to distant sites including (i) apex of lungs; (ii) kidneys, (iii) bone, (iv) brain, (v) multiple other sites. Potential for disease to occur in 5‐10% of infected persons; months, years, decades later.
Spread via pulmonary lymphatics
Site of initial infection often peripheral (sub‐pleural)
Typical apical cavitarydisease seen in many patients who have TB from late reactivation of Latent TB Infection (LTBI)
Hilar lymph nodes (hilar adenopathy)

Natural History of Tuberculosis (Schema)
Not Infected Infected +
No disease, but LTBI
Disease “soon” [within 1‐2 yrs]
Still no disease, but possible lifelong LTBI
Disease “anytime later in life” [reactivation of LTBI)

Caution !! Co‐infection with HIV totally upsets this schema!Instead of having a 10% lifetime risk of developing TB disease persons co‐infected with HIV may have a risk as high as 10% per year!!!!

In 1914, $10,000 was set aside by the legislature to establish the South Carolina State Sanatorium. The State Sanatorium opened in 1915 as a tent facility and over time, progressed to wooden buildings or cottages. TB Camps were established all over SC –Hopewell in Greenville, Camp Alice in Sumter, Pinehaven in Charleston, Marion County Camp

This picture shows mass screening in the United States. These projects started in the 1930s. Mass screening with conventional equipment was impractical, so special devices were developed. Mobile vans equipped with photofluorographic X‐ray units allowed countries around the world to mass screen their populations...

X‐rays were less expensive, easier to complete and used more & more both in and outside the Sanatorium setting.

State Board of Health hired 7 public health nurses; Ruth Dodd and Helen Fenton were the first TB public health nurses in South
Carolina. They were to teach the TB patients how to take care of themselves and prevent others from getting TB

In concert with ALASC, DHEC developed and started the Enablers and Incentives Program. The funding was provided by the ALASC through a trust fund and still functions today.

Columbus’ Four Voyages to the New World: 1492, 1493, 1498 & 1502
First (2003) US Cow with Bovine Spongioform Encephalopathy (BSE) [ “Mad Cow Disease”] had been imported from Canada in 2001
“Swine flu” (H1N1 of 2009) imported from Mexico

Another old Question about disease importation:
Was there Tuberculosis in the New World before the arrival of Columbus and other Europeans?

But…. On a more immediate and practical note, how about importations of TB into the USA right now in the 21st Century?
Case of TB Imported from India ‐ 1
• 29 yo woman arrives SC Aug 2004
• part of group of teachers from India with contracts to teach science in underserved rural SC high schools
• Contracting agency did not know of her two previous episodes of pulmonary TB (had self‐administered therapy!?)
• TB relapses Summer 2005 => smear+ & culture+
• At first just one of ~ 200 SC TB cases for the year…. but…

• Drug susceptibilities: => R to INH, Rif & PZA
• Rx then proceeds with Emb, Cys, Cap, Lev, Mox, Rfb
• Complex course (e.g. drug intolerance, other systemic diseases) requires several regimen modifications
• Eventual good treatment outcome: completed teaching contract. Now studying nursing in Georgia
Case of TB Imported from India ‐ 2
Case of TB Imported from India – 3Contact Investigation
• Spouse and sister have +TSTs
– PEP with Rx with Rifabutin
• All co‐teachers in the HS now tested.
• Only one student patient had taught had a positive skin test. Felt had likely been infected before.
– PEP with Isoniazid
• Complex, this case only one of over 5,000 foreign born TB cases seen in the USA each year

Control Reduction of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and disability to a locally acceptable level.
Elimination Reduction of infection and disease to zero in a defined area. Surveillance crucial. Continued efforts required.
Eradication Permanent reduction of worldwide incidence to zero as a result of deliberate interventions. Surveillance crucial. Continued efforts may not be required.
Destruction Destruction of all isolates of microbial agent.

Elimination of TB in the USA !?
• What would the term “elimination mean?
• Is “elimination” an appropriate goal or not…. and, if so:
• For what date and for what sub‐populations should “elimination” be targetted?
• Should DTBE have its named changed back to the DTBC?
Thank you!
