Approach to Diagnosis • A presenting manifestation pointing to the least number of diseases • Fever + Cervical Lymphadenopathy • PTB • Group A Strep Pharyngitis • Lymphoma • Kawasaki disease
Primary Tuberculosis Infection • Epidemiology: TB is endemic in the Philippines • The majority of children with tuberculosis infection develop no signs or symptoms at any time. • Non-specific signs & symptoms
Signs and Symptoms • Cough of more than 2 weeks duration • Fever of more than 2 weeks duration • Painless cervical and/or other lymphadenopathies • Poor weight gain • Failure to make a quick return to normal health after infection • Failure to respond to appropriate antibiotics
Tuberculin Skin test • Screening test of high risk individuals • Used to determine • Latent TB infection • Infected persons • Measure of a person’s cellular immune responsiveness
Interpretation • ≥ 5mm • Non BCG vaccinated • < 5 years old • ≥ 10mm • BCG vaccinated • < 5 years old with positive exposure • ≥ 15mm • > 5 years old with or without BCG
Tuberculosis Disease At least 3 of the following: • (+) exposure to PTB • (+) TST • Clinical signs and symptoms of PTB • Radiographic Findings of PTB
Assessment • Pulmonary Tuberculosis Disease
Tuberculin Skin Test Induration of 10 mm or more is considered a positive TST result in the following children: • Children who are at a higher risk of dissemination of tuberculous disease, including those younger than 5 years or those who are immunosuppressed because of conditions such as lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, diabetes mellitus, and malnutrition • Children with increased exposure to the disease, including those who are exposed to adults in high-risk categories (eg, homeless, HIV infected, users of illicit drugs, residents of nursing homes, incarcerated or institutionalized persons); those who were born in or whose parents were born in high-prevalence areas of the world; and those with travel histories to high-prevalence areas of the world
Treatment Plans Curative: • Isoniazid 200mg/5ml, 1.5 ml (5mg/kg/d) OD • Rifampicin 200mg/5ml, 3 ml (10mg/kg/d) OD • Pyrazinamide 250mg/5ml, 3.5 ml (15mg/kg/d) OD • Streptomycin 1g/2ml, 0.5 ml IM (22mg/kg/d) OD • Refer to DOTS • Refer to ENT
Treatment Plans • Supportive • Multivitamins • Dietary advice given
Preventive • Advise the patient to strictly comply and complete the regimen • Anticipatory guidelines • Follow-up on vaccination • Avoid overcrowded and unsanitary areas
First Line Anti-TB drugs • Isoniazid(H) • Rifampicin(R) • Pyrazinamide(Z) • Streptomycin(S) • Ethambutol(E)
Treatment • a 6-month course of isoniazid (INH) and rifampin, supplemented during the first 2 months with pyrazinamide. • Because poor adherence to these regimens is a common cause of treatment failure, directly observed therapy (DOT) is recommended for treatment of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis • Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most important cause of tuberculosis disease in humans. • Other causes include: M. bovis, M. africanum, M. microti, M. Canetti.
Latent Tuberculosis infection • Occurs after inhalation of infective droplet nuclei containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis. • Reactive tuberculin skin test (TST) and absence of clinical and radiographic manifestation are the hallmark of this stage • Disease occurs when signs and symptoms and radiographic changes become apparent • Untreated LTB have up to 40% likelihood of developing TB in children.
Transmission • Person to person • By airborne mucus droplet 4-5um in diameter • Increased when patient has positive AFB smear, extensive upper lobe infection/cavity, copious production of thin sputum and severe and forceful cough • Young children rarely infect others because tubercle bacilli are sparse in the endobronchial secretions of children with PTB and cough is often absent or lack tussive force required to suspend infectious particles for transmission.
Pathogenesis • Primary complex includes local infection at the portal of entry and the regional lymph nodes that drain the area • Tubercle bacilli multiply initially within the alveoli and alveolar ducts, most of the bacilli are killed, but some survive within nonactivated macrophages, which carry them through lymphatic vessels to the regional lymph nodes.
Tissue reaction in the lung parenchyma and lymph nodes intensifies over the next 2-12 weeks. • The parenchymal portion of the primary complex often heals completely by fibrosis or calcification after undergoing caseous necrosis and encapsulation.
Tuberculin Skin Testing (TST) • The development of delayed type hypersensitivity reaction in most individuals infected with tubercle bacillus makes the TST a useful diagnostic tool. • The Mantoux Tuberculin Skin Test is the intradermal injection of 0.1mL containing 5 tuberculin units of purified protein derivative (PPD. • T cells sensitized by prior infection are recruited to the skin where they release lymphokines that induce induration through local vasodilatation, edema, fibrin depositon and recruitment of other inflammatory cells to the area.
TST should be read by a trained person 48-72 hours after administration. • Occasional patients will have the induration >72 hours after placement, this is also a positive result. • Immediate hypersensitivity reaction are shortlived (<24 hours) and are not considered a positive result.
Tuberculin sensitivity develops 3 weeks to 3 months after inhalation of organism • Factors that can depress skin test reaction: • Very young age • Malnutrition • Immunosuppresion • Viral infection • Vaccines with live virus • Overwhelming tuberculosis
False positive reaction to TST can be caused by cross sensitization to antigens on non tuberculousmycobacteria • Previous BCG (Especially if 2 doses of BCG are already given) • In general, a > or equal to 10mm in a BCG vaccinated child indicates infection
Tuberculin Skin Test • Induration of 5 mm or more is considered a positive TST result in the following children: • Children having close contact with known or suspected contagious cases of the disease, including those with household contacts with active tuberculosis whose treatment cannot be verified before exposure • Children with immunosuppressive conditions (eg, HIV) or children who are on immunosuppressive medications • Children who have an abnormal chest radiography finding consistent with active tuberculosis, previously active tuberculosis, or clinical evidence of the disease
Tuberculin Skin Test Induration of 10 mm or more is considered a positive TST result in the following children: • Children who are at a higher risk of dissemination of tuberculous disease, including those younger than 5 years or those who are immunosuppressed because of conditions such as lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, diabetes mellitus, and malnutrition • Children with increased exposure to the disease, including those who are exposed to adults in high-risk categories (eg, homeless, HIV infected, users of illicit drugs, residents of nursing homes, incarcerated or institutionalized persons); those who were born in or whose parents were born in high-prevalence areas of the world; and those with travel histories to high-prevalence areas of the world
Tuberculin Skin Test • Induration of 15 mm or more is considered a positive TST result in children aged 5 years or older without any risk factors for the disease
Clinical Manifestations • Majority develop no signs or symptoms • Occasionaly, with low grade fever and mild cough • Rarely with high fever, cough, malaise and flu like symptoms.
Primary Pulmonary Disease • Primary complex includes parenchymal pulmonary focus and regional lymph nodes • Initial parenchymal inflammation is usually not visible on chest radiograph • Hallmark of primary tuberculosis in the lungs is the relatively large size of regional lymphadenitis compared with the relatively small size of the intial lung focus
