4th Annual Journalist-to-Journalist Lung Health Training

Discussion about TB and HIV


43rd Union World Conference on Lung Health Kuala Lumpur
Philippe Clevenbergh, MD Head of The Union Office in Myanmar International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease 14:30-15:45 Tuesday, November 13

Incidence of primary opportunistic infections in two human immunodeficiency virus-infected French clinical cohorts. Yazdanpanah Y, Chne G, Losina E, Goldie SJ,
Merchadou LD, Alfandari S, Seage GR 3rd, Sullivan L, Marimoutou C, Paltiel AD, Salamon R, Mouton Y, Freedberg KA. Int J Epidemiol. 2001 Aug; 30 (4): 864-71.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis was the least common opportunistic infection (< 5.0/100 person-years).
CONCLUSIONS:

Geographical differences exist in the incidence of HIV-related opportunistic infections.

TB HIV interaction for the person


HIV increases the risk of progression to active TB in both primary TB infection and the reactivation of latent TB
W/o HIV: 3 to 5% develop active TB in the first 2 years after TB infection With HIV: 73% developed active TB within the first 6 months of TB infection

W/o HIV: lifetime risk of developing active TB due to reactivation = 8 to 10%


With HIV: risk = 10% per year

TB/HIV epidemiology in 2008


33.4 million PLWH: ~ 30% latent or active TB infection 9.4 million TB cases: 1.4 million (15%) were coinfected with HIV HIV infection is the strongest risk factor for TB. PLWH: 20 to 30 times more likely to develop TB than those without HIV. New TB cases 19 times more likely to be coinfected with HIV than general population

Individual level
HIV - Increases the susceptibility to and accelerates progression of TB disease - Atypical presentation and delayed diagnosis of TB - Increase the risk of TB treatment failure and development of MDR and XDR TB - Increases risk of recurrence of TB - TB vaccine contra-indicated in children

Community level

TB

TB - First cause of mortality among HIV infected individuals - Increases HIV replication and accelerates HIV disease - Makes treatment of HIV more complicated (timing and choice of drugs) - Is associated with specific complications after HIV treatment (IRIS)

HIV - Increase the number of TB cases and the spread of TB disease among HIV-infected patients and within the community - Increase the number of MDR and XDR TB cases - Share similar socio-economic features favoring transmission and affecting similar risk groups

HIV

TB - Increased mortality in HIVinfected people - Increased risk of transmission of HIV

Regional distribution of TB/HIV mirrors HIV, 2011

430,000 PLHIV died of TB in 2011 (25% of AIDS deaths)

HIV-associated TB contributes disproportionately to TB-related deaths.

Establish the mechanism for integrated services (Joint NAP and NTP) Decrease the burden of TB in PLHIV (Three Is and earlier ART) (Primarily NAP) Decrease the burden of HIV in TB patients (Primarily NTP)

TB/HIV gaps in Myanmar


Limited interactions between NAP and NTP TB/HIV technical strategic group pending Limited coverage for TB/HIV collaborative activities and implementation of the 4Is Limited access to ARVs Limited access to MDR TB treatment Unforeseeable risks of transmission of both diseases due to migrations accompanying economic boom

Conclusion
TB and HIV epidemics are working hand in hand and mutually enhancing each other magnitude and impact at the individual and community level TB/HIV co-epidemic can be addressed only as a single common global solution Structural and socio-economic changes are required for both diseases Both programs have to learn from each other in order to be successful
