TB history Has existed since the Stone Age Upsurge during the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America Caused 25% of all deaths Modern-time Caucasians are more resistant to TB than people from Africa and elsewhere
How TB is spread Spread only by smear-positive pulmonary cases Transmission occurs virtually only in closed and crowded environments
Exposure to smear-positive patient 10-30% are infected Primary TB Small children
Exposure to smear-positive patient 10-30% are infected Latent TB Primary TB Small children BCG vaccine
Exposure to smear-positive patient 10-30% are infected Latent TB 90% remain healthy 10 % develop Secondary TB during their life-time 50% within first 2 years
Exposure to smear-positive patient 10-30% are infected Latent TB 90% remain healthy 10 % develop Secondary TB during their life-time 50% within first 2 years
Exposure to smear-positive patient 10-30% are infected Latent TB In severe immunosuppresion, 10 % develop Secondary TB every year

Alle standard TB-medisiner er gamle Isoniazid 1952 Pyrazinamid 1954 Etambutol 1962 Rifampicin 1969
Routine treatment for uncomplicated and susceptible TB Isoniazid Rifampicin Pyrazinamid Ethambutol + pyridoxin Intensive phase 2 months Isoniazid Rifampicin + pyridoxin Continuation phase 4 months
Combination tablets Isoniazid Rifampicin Pyrazinamid Ethambutol Intensive phase 2 months Isoniazid Rifampicin Continuation phase 4 months

Mer enn 90% av alle tuberkulosepasienter som behandles i Norge blir friske
TB worldwide in 2015 Still an enormous problem ~1/3 of world s population is infected ~9.6 million new cases in 2014 12% HIV co-infected 480,000 (5%) cases had MDR-TB 16% (1.5 million) died
Nye TB tilfeller i Norge, 2014 Total insidens-rate: 7/100 000 innbyggere Norskfødte: 0,5/100 000 Asiatere: 51/100 000 Afrikanere: 219/100 000 Somalier: 386/100 000
Smitteoppsporing rundt tilfeller med smittsom TB
Forebyggende behandling Rifampicin + isoniazid i 3 mndr Gis som regel til ALLE smittede barn og ungdommer, og til mange voksne <35 år
Microscopy of sputum smears Inexpensive and rapid Positive when >5,000 bacteria/ml Indicates infectiousness Sensitivity 60% compared to cultures Cannot differentiate between dead and living bacteria
Culture Growth on Löwenstein-Jensen solid media takes 3-8 weeks Growth in Bactec radiometric liquid culture system takes 9-16 days
Xpert MTB/RIF Real time PCR Detects M. tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance genes Processing time 1.5h Positive when >10 bacteria/ml
Sykdommer og aktuelle Reumatologiske Reumatoid artritt Bechterews sykdom Psoriasisartritt Dermatologiske Plaque-psoriasis Gastrointestinale Mb. Crohn Ulcerøs kolitt DMARDs
DMARDs og latent TB TNF-alfa blokkere T-celle eller B-celle hemmere IL1- hemmere Pasienter med latent TB som behandles med TNF-alfa blokker har 5x større risiko for å utvikle aktiv TB
Undersøkelser før evt DMARDs Sykehistorie Eksponert for TB? Bodd i høyendemisk land? Tidligere TB? Rtg thorax IGRA-test Henvis til spesialist ved positive funn
Forebyggende behandling Rifampicin + isoniazid i 3 mndr Starte med DMARDs når behandlingen er ferdig
Globally ~300,000 pulmonary MDR-TB cases
Previously untreated cases Average global MDR-TB prevalence 3.3%
Retreatment cases Average global MDR-TB prevalence prevalence 20% 20%
Definisjon på MDR-TB Resistens mot rifampicin og isoniazid
MDR-TB must be treated for a long time Intensive phase: 5-8 months With a 2nd-line injectable + 3-4 per oral drugs Continuation phase: for at least 12 months With 3 per oral drugs
Side effects are common Tinnitus, hearing impairment, renal insufficiency Headache, nausea, tendinitis Nausea, diarrhea, neuropathy, hypothyreosis Headache, anxiety, psychosis Hepatitis, nausea arthralgia
Treatment succes rates of MDR- TB are appalling Globally only 49% are successfully treated Many pts are lost to follow-up, die or become chronic cases
