Slide 2

History repeating itself

“The weariness, the fever and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last grey hairs,
Where youth grows spectre-thin, and dies.”

To help diagnosis: meningeal TB

Long look at smear (45mins)
Image chest and abdomen: other signs TB
PCR: good sensitivity if smear positive, not evaluated
in smear negative disease
• Not useful
– CSF Adenosine deaminase
– Tuberculin skin test
– Interferon assay

What if it doesn’t culture?


Slide 26

Mantoux test
Equivalent to 5IU worldwide. From Denmark
If BCG
>15mm
No BCG >5mm
Weak +ve
Atypical mycobacteria.
BCG

False –ve
HIV
Prednisolone>20mg OD
Old age
Immunosuppression
Overwhelming TB


Slide 27

Factors leading to negative Mantoux
• The person being tested
– Infections
• Viral (measles, mumps, chickenpox)
• Bacterial (typhoid fever, brucelosis, typhus, pertussis, overwhelming TB,
• Fungal (South American blastomycosis)








Live virus vaccinations (MMR)
Metabolic derangements (chronic renal failure)
Nutritional factors (severe protein depletion)
Diseases of lymphoid organs (Hodgkin’s lymphoma, CLL, sarcoidosis)
Drugs (corticosteroids, other immunosuppressive agents)
Age (newborn, elderly)
– Recent overwhelming infection with M. tuberculosis
– Stress (surgery, burns, mental illness, graft versus host reactions)

• Tuberculin used
• Method of administration
• Reading the test and recording results


Slide 28

Interferon Gamma Release Assay
THEORY:
A person’s T-cells that previously were sensitized to TB
antigen produce high levels of IFN-gamma when reexposed to the same mycobacterial antigen.


Slide 29

Specific antigens in IGRA

Not present in BCG


Slide 30

Mycobacteria & IGRA antigens


Slide 31

Available IGRA tests
T-SPOT TB®
• The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are washed,
isolated and stimulated with ESAT-6 & CFP-10.
• Incubate overnight: number of T-cells producing IFN-γ “counted”
• Not many indeterminates: more laboratory intensive

Quantiferon Gold®





Blood exposed to ESAT-6, CFP-10 and TB7.7 antigens.
Incubated overnight
Plasma removed and assayed for IFN-γ levels by ELISA.
Arbitrary cutoff for level of positives: more indeterminate results.


Slide 32

Uses of IGRA testing
• Detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
• Useful in
– Immunocompromised (indeterminate results in lymphopoenia)
– HIV







Not useful to diagnose active disease
May help to exclude active disease
Not useful in monitoring disease response
May differentiate non-tuberculous mycobacteria from TB
Useful in outbreak investigations (contact tracing)


Slide 33

Latent TB infection


Slide 34

Risk factors for drug resistance









History of prior TB drug treatment
Prior TB treatment failure
Contact with known case drug-resistant TB
Birth / residence county with high incidence resistance
HIV infection
Residence in London
Age: highest rates age 25-44
Male gender
