Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a kind of communicable chronic
disease caused by M.tuberculosis,which can invade
various tissues and organs of the whole body. The mycobacteria are slow-growing
intracellular bacilli that cause tuberculosis.
treatment must be administered for monthsto years depending on which drugs are used.
Usually, a drug-combination regimen is
required for treatment of tuberculosis;
otherwise microbial resistance, notorious to
any single drug, develops rapidly
The main cause of TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is a
smallaerobicnon-motile bacillus. High lipidcontent of this
pathogen accounts for many of its unique clinical characteristics.Itdivides every 16 to 20 hours, an extremely slow rate compared
with other bacteria, which usually divide in less than an hour.
Since MTB has a cell wall but lacks aphospholipidouter
membrane, it is classifiedas a Gram-positive bacterium.

Pathogenesis TB infection begins when the mycobacteria reach the pulmonary
alveoli, where they invade and replicate within the endosomes ofalveolar macrophages.The primary site of infection in the lungs is
called the Ghon focus, and is generally located in either the upper partof the lower lobe. Bacteria are picked up by dendritic cells, which donot allow replication, although these cells can transport the bacilli tolocal (mediastinal) lymph nodes. Further spread is through thebloodstream to other tissues and organs where secondary TB lesionscan develop in other parts of the lung ,peripheral lymph nodes,kidneys, brain, and bone.[All parts of the body can be affected by thedisease, though it rarely affects the heart, skeletal muscles, pancreasand thyroid
Tuberculosis is classified as one of the granulomatous inflammatoryconditions. Macrophages, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, andfibroblasts are among the cells that aggregate to form granulomas,with lymphocytes surrounding the infected macrophages. Thegranuloma prevents dissemination of the mycobacteria and provides alocal environment for interaction of cells of the immune system.Bacteria inside the granuloma can become dormant, resulting in alatent infection. Another feature of the granulomas of humantuberculosis is the development of abnormal cell death (necrosis) inthe center oftubercles. To the naked eye this has the texture of softwhite cheese and is termed caseousnecrosis

What is the difference between TB infection and TBdisease?
In most people who become infected, the body's
immune system is able to fight the TB bacteria andstop them from multiplying. The bacteria are notkilled, but they become inactive and are storedharmlessly in the body. This is TB infection. People
with TB infection have no symptoms and cannotspread the infection to others. However, the bacteriaremain alive in the body and can become activeagain later.
If an infected person's immune system cannot stopthe bacteria from multiplying, the bacteriaeventually cause symptoms of active TB, or TBdisease. To spread TB to others, a person must haveTB disease.

Latent TB
Most people who breathe in TB germs do
not get sick. When a persons immune
system is strong, it builds a wall around
the germs so they cant spread and
hurt the body. These walls are called
tubercles thats how tuberculosis gets
its name. Once the germs are trapped
inside the tubercles, they slow down
and stop activity, as if they went to sleep.
This is calledlatent (sleeping) TB.
Active TB
When a person cant fight TB germs, they
become sick. The TB germs multiply
and do a lot of damage to the body. Thisis calledactive TB

Anti-Tuberculosis Therapy Drug therapy is the cornerstone of TB
management Goals :
Kill TB rapidly
Prevent emergence of resistance
Eliminate persistent bacilli from the host to
prevent relapse Drug therapy :
First line agents
Greatest efficacy with acceptable toxicity
Second-line agents Less efficacy, greater toxicity, or both
If properly used, can achieve cure rate ~98%
Increasing prevalence of multidrug resistant TB(MDRTB)

Treatment Principles Disease burden
Asymptomatic patients have an organism load of ~103 organisms
Cavitary pulmonary TB has a load of 1011 organisms
As the number of organisms increases, likelihood of
drug-resistant mutants increases
Mutants found at rates of 1 in 106 to 1 in 108 organisms
Drug therapy regimens
Latent TB
Monotherapy, usually with isoniazid (INH)
Risk of selecting out resistant organisms is low
Active TB
Combination therapy of at least 2 drugs, generally three or more
Rates for multiple drug mutations occur as an additive function
1 in 1013 (INH rate of 106 + RIF rate of 107)

Killed most readily by INH > RIF > streptomycin > other
drugs Organisms residing within caseating granulomas (semi-
dormant
metabolic state; 105 to 107)

Rifampin It can kill organisms that are poorly
accessible to many other drugs, such asintracellular organisms and those
sequestered in abscesses
and lung cavities.
Drug-resistance to RFP, due to targetmutations in RNA polymerase, occurs readily.
No cross-resistance to other classes of
antimicrobial drugs.
It often uses in combination with otheragents
(Tuberculosis, rifampin) in order to prevent
emergence of drug-resistant mycobacteria

Isoniazid(INH) the most activeInhibits mycolic acid synthesis
Long-chain fatty acids of the
mycobacterial cell wall Bactericidal against growing MTB
Bacteriostatic against nonreplicating
MTB
PO only
Well absorbed
Toxicities
serum transaminases (AST, ALT)
Slow acetylators may be at increased risk
NeurotoxicityUsually manifests as peripheral

malnourished, dialysis patients, HIV+
Isoniazid is able to penetrate into
phagocytic cells and thus is active against
both extracellular and intracellular
organisms.

First Line Agents (cont.)Pyrazinamide
Pyrazinamide is only used incombination with other drugssuch as isoniazid and
rifampicin in the treatment ofMycobacterium tuberculosis. Itis never used on its own.
Bactericidal
PO only
Metabolized in the liver, butmetabolites are renally excreted.
Mechanism :
M. tuberculosis has the enzyme
pyrazinamidase which is only active
in acidic conditions.Pyrazinamidase
converts pyrazinamide to the active
form, pyrazinoic acid which
accumulates in the bacilli. Pyrazinoic
acid was thought to inhibit the
enzyme fatty acid synthase (FAS) I,
which is required by the bacterium
to synthesise its fat nutrient.
Toxicities
liver enzymes
Hyperuricemia
Nausea/vomiting

Streptomycin Streptomycin is the first
antimicrobial drug used totreat tuberculosis. It iseffective against mosttubercle bacilli, but its activity
is weaker than that of INHand RFP.
Streptomycin penetrates intocells poorly, an drug
resistance is produced easily. It is always given together
with other drugs to preventemergence of resistance.

Treatment of MDR TBFactors determining Success:Culture of MDR TB
.Reliable susceptibility Reliable history of previous drugregimens
.Program to assure delivery of prescribed drugs (DOT)Directly Observed Treatment .
.Correct choice of modified treatment regimen
.Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) of second-line drugs (SLD)
. MODS( The microscopic-observation drug-susceptibilityassay is based on three principles: 1) mycobacteriumtuberculosis (MTB) grows faster in liquid media than onsolid media 2) microscopic MTB growth can be detectedearlier in liquid media than waiting for the macroscopicappearance of colonies on solid media, and that growth ischaracteristic of MTB, allowing it to be distinguished fromatypical mycobacteria or fungal or bacterial contamination3) the drugs isoniazid and rifampicin can be incorporatedinto the MODS assay to allow for simultaneous directdetection of MDRTB, obviating the need for subculture toperform an indirect drug susceptibility test.

BCG - the current vaccine for
tuberculosis Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) is the current
vaccine for tuberculosis. It was first used in1921. BCG is the only vaccine available todayfor protection against tuberculosis. It is mosteffective in protecting children from thedisease
It is prepared from a strain of the attenuated(weakened) live tuberculosis bacillus,Mycobacterium bovis, that has lost itsvirulence in humans by being speciallysubcultured in an artificial medium for 13
years, and also prepared from Mycobacteriumtuberculosis. The bacilli have retained enoughstrong antigenicity to become a somewhateffective vaccine for the prevention of humantuberculosis.

Conclusions.In moderate cases, 3 sensitive drugs other than PZA
are probably enough, even in initial phases of MDR-TB
chemotherapy, for culture conversion and preventingfurther drug resistance.
In advanced cases, 4 or more sensitive drugs otherthan PZA may be necessary. But this is not yetconcluded and controversial, and probably dependentpartly on the indication of adjunctive surgery.
If sensitive, PZA should be used in initial 2 to 3
months, after that, when other sensitive drugs can beused, PZA should be replaced by other sensitive drugs.
Injectable drugs and fluoroquinolones should be use ifpossible.
