Disclosures • Medical Consultant, TB Control Program Indiana State Department of Health • Clinical trials with Merck, Genzyme and Romark • Have personally endured over 36 Tuberculin skin tests (all negative or perhaps misinterpreted) Major thanks to Kelly White, ISDH TB Control Program Epidemiologist, for Indiana data updates!
Outline/Objectives 1) Learn the current Tuberculosis Incidence World, U. S. and Indiana 2) Review the definition of Latent Infection versus Active TB Disease 3) Contrast New TB Testing and Screening Guidelines Dr. Deb Mc. Mahan 4) Compare current LTBI Treatment options Dr. Eva Muloma 5) Review available County and State Support Systems
Global/U. S. TB Burden, 2016 • An estimated 10. 4 million new TB disease cases • 1. 4 million deaths due to TB disease – Additional 0. 4 million deaths from TB among HIVpositive people • The rate of decline in remains low at 1. 5% per year – Must accelerate to 4 -5% annual decline by 2020 to reach first milestone of End TB Strategy • Estimated 10 -15 million persons in U. S. TB infected Source: WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2016
TB Epidemiology, worldwide • Africa has the highest incidence rate (275 per 100, 000 population, v. ~ 3. 0 U. S. ) – Some regions of Africa have rates up to 500! • Largest number of cases from Asian Countries: – India, Indonesia, China, Nigeria, Pakistan and South Africa account for 60% of global cases in 2015 • Three countries (China, India, and Russian Federation) account for 45% of MDR-TB
Factors Contributing to the Increase in TB Morbidity: 1985 -1992 • Deterioration of the TB public health infrastructure • HIV/AIDS epidemic • Immigration from countries where TB is common • Transmission of TB in congregate settings • homeless shelters, prisons, etc.
Remember to check HIV status on EVERY new diagnosis of TB infection

Treatment of TB Disease • Increased dosing frequency is better • 7 or 5 days a week dosing more effective • 3 times weekly is acceptable • 2 times weekly not routine any more
Treatment of LTBI • 3 HP dosing gaining momentum • 12 weekly doses by DOT • INH plus rifapentine • Other rifampin based regimens coming
