Goals for today
• Learn how to treat drug resistant TB before
all of the susceptibilities are known
• Learn about the consultation services of the
RTMCCs
• Recognize that we are at a point in time to
diagnose and treat TB disease better
• Become aware of the future in TB care

What do we suggest now?
• Stop Isoniazid ?
• Continue Moxifloxin ?
• Continue Amikacin ?
• Continue Cycloserine ?
• Continue Linezolid ?
• Consider add Paser (PAS) ?
• Consider add Augmentin ?
• Wait for CDC report? When
will it come?

What I did
• Stopped INH
• Continued Moxifloxin
• Continued Amikacin
• Continued Cycloserine/ Vitamin B6 100 mg
• Continued Linezolid
• Added PAS 4 gram twice a day
Wanted to have at least 5 drugs

New Suggestions for the Treating
Physicians
• Discontinue Moxifloxcin (???)
• Continue Amikacin 15 mg./d three days/week
• Continue Cycloserine 250-500 mg./day (check serum level)
• Continue Linezolid 600 mg./day
• Continue PAS 4 grams twice a day
• Continue Vitamin B6 100 mg./day

Is this the way that TB should be
treated?
• NO!!!!
• We need more rapid turn around times for
the detection of the TB organism
• We need more rapid turn around time for
the drug susceptibility tests, first line and
second line

How could this course be
avoided?
• Are there more rapid diagnostic tests for TB?
• AFB stains do not distinguish between the various species of Mycobacteria
• Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests-(Gen-Probe and Amplicor) used on AFB smear positive sputa. If positive, MTC is presumed.

• If culture was negative, MTBDR was neg.
• Three cultures were contaminated and MTBDR gave results
• Twenty-five cultures were positive and drug susceptibility testing was done on 20.
– 80% gave interpretable MTBDR results for RIF
– 74% gave MTBDR results for INH!

Why don’t we use these tests?
• MMWR 1/16/09; 58(1):7-10 CDC
recommends NAA testing of one AFB
smear positive sputum on all clients, but no
money given to the labs
• The CDC has put money into Genotyping
which has a certain value
• However, in this time when it still takes at
least 30 days to get drug susceptibilities and
usually longer if drug resistance is
appearing, this time lag is not acceptable!

If Nucleic Acid Amplification
was more available
• If M. tb was ruled out, patients would not be exposed to potentially toxic medications
• Respiratory Isolation would not be imposed
• Contact investigation would not be initiated
• If drug resistance was known within 48 hours, more appropriate medications would be prescribed for the patient
• This would decrease length of illness, infectiousness and thus spread of disease

Need additional rapid molecular tests to check for the other drugs.

Still Need Surgery
Perform surgery before the client gets to
XDR status so that there are medications
available to treat the client after the surgery
to ensure the patient is cured.

Summary
• Need to collect specimens for culture and
drug susceptibilities
• Do rapid screening for drug resistance
• Tailor the patients medications depending
on the drug susceptibilities as defined by
rapid testing and confirmed by liquid and
agar susceptibilities

Summary (2)
• Select drugs from the first line and then the
second line and finally from the third line
classes until you have at least 5 drugs
including one injectable drug to which the
organism is susceptible
• Monitor the culture conversion and if this is
extended beyond 3-4 months, consider
surgery if the patient has sufficient
pulmonary reserve and there are drugs
available to treat after surgery

Summary (3)
• Never add one drug to a failing regimen,
you will only promote drug resistance!

What we did today
• Learned how to treat drug resistant TB
before all of the susceptibilities are known
• Learned about the consultation services of
the RTMCCs
• Recognize that we are at a point in time to
diagnose and treat TB disease better
• Became aware of the future in TB care
