What causes Tuberculosis (TB)?
• TB – ancient disease demonstrated in the bones of some Egyptian mummies
• A highly contagious infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• The causative organism discovered by Robert Koch in 1882

How is TB spread?
• Inhalation of tubercle bacilli in droplet nuclei created when infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks
• Nuclei <5µ - reach alveoli of lung – primary infection established
• Only 5 – 10 % of individuals progress from infection to disease
• For HIV infected individuals, the lifetime risk of disease is up to 50%
• 80% of all TB disease manifests as a pulmonary infection

How efficient was case detection in 2008?
• 1993 – TB declared “a global emergency” by WHO• 2008 – Estimated incidence – 9.4 million cases –
about 95% drug susceptible• Cases detected – 5.7 million• Over 3 million cases undetected• In addition, many cases often detected late

How is TB diagnosed?
• Clinical symptoms – chronic cough, hemoptysis, weight loss, night sweats.
• Skin test• X-ray• Direct demonstration of acid fast bacilli in sputum by
microscopy• Growth of TB bacilli in culture

How are laboratory services in developing countries organized to diagnose TB?
• Laboratory network to serve the national TB control program: a national referral laboratory providing TB culture service
and overseeing the microscopy labs microscopy centres sputum collection points

Challenges with microscopy• Technical – poor sensitivity (30% – 40 %)• Operational:
– Patient access and time to diagnosis– Workload– Human resources– Quality and reliability of results– Infrastructure– Supplies and equipment– Information management

TB culture
• Culture = the gold standard• Greater need for
infrastructure, qualified staff, equipment & safety measures
• Only routinely used for treatment failures and relapse cases

TB culture and sensitivity testing
Additional challenges• Time consuming – incubation period up to 8
weeks• Additional time for sensitivity testing• Turn around time to diagnose drug resistant
TB = 4 – 6 months (from the time of specimen collection)

Technologies approved by WHO for diagnosing TB (See handout)
• Automated liquid culture and sensitivity testing (2007)• Rapid strip speciation (2007)• Line probe assays (2008)• 2nd line drug susceptibility testing (2008)• LED fluorescence microscopy (2009)• Selected non-commercial culture and DST methods
(2009 – 2010)• Cepheid Gene Xpert (2010)• Serodiagnostics (2010)• Molecular testing for 2nd line DST (2010)

Providing technologies and diagnostics is not enough
Need:• Policy reform and adoption• Laboratory quality management• Procurement and supply chain management• Standard operating procedures• Biosafety standards• Technology transfer and training• Information management systems

TB CAP Toolboxto strengthen laboratory services
1. Directly supports Stop TB Strategy objectives: • ‘To achieve universal access to high-quality diagnosis
and patient-centered treatment’• ‘To pursue high quality DOTS expansion and
enhancement of case detection through quality assured bacteriology’.
2. Enables countries to: • Strengthen their TB laboratory network• Adopt national standards in accordance with
international guidelines.
