Tuberculosis • Tuberculosis is an airborne communicable disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis • 80% of tuberculosis is pulmonar • Infectious disease causing highest mortality worldwide
Tuberculosis: Global epidemiology • Infected = 2 billion • Cases = 20 million • New cases = 8 million per year • Deaths = 2 million per year Source: Organization, W.H., Global Tuberculosis Control Surveillance, Planning, Financing. 2007.
Factors threatening TB control • Areas with high prevalence • Association HIV/AIDS – TB • Increase in the number of • multi-drug resistant • tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Isoniazid and rifampin resistant strains • Occurs after inappropriate treatment • Increasing number of compromised drugs (XDR-TB strains)
In Peru, TB control is improving but MDR-TB is increasing Pulmonary TB Multi-drug resistant TB
First line TB Treatment DrugsEffect Isoniazid (H) Rapid growing Ethambutol (E) Rapid growing Rifampin (R) Semi-dormant Pyrazinamide (Z) Semi-dormant/acid pH Sterilizing activity Reduction of TB treatment from 9 months to 6 months
Pyrazinamide (PZA) • Only active against M. tuberculosis complex • Action against semi-dormant tubercle bacilli in acidic environments • Reduction of treatment time of (6 months) • Pro-drug converted by pyrazinamidase (PZase) in the active molecule • 30% of MDR-TB cases are resistant to (PZA) reported by INS based on the Wayne test
