SECTION II
LITERATURE AND REVIEW OF TUBERCULOSIS
TUBERCULOSIS
DEFINITION
Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis usually results from inhalation of
infected droplets produced by someone who has PTB and who is coughing. The most
infectious index cases are those with sputum smear-positive disease. The closer the
contact is to the source case, the greater the exposure and the greater the risk of
getting infected with tuberculosis.
TB infection is when a person carries the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria
inside the body. Many people have TB infection and are well. A positive TST
indicates infection - but a negative TST does not exclude the possibility of infection.
TB disease occurs in someone with TB infection when the bacteria inside the
body start to multiply and become numerous enough to damage one or more organs
of the body. This damage causes clinical symptoms and signs and is referred to as
“tuberculosis” or active disease.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
It is estimated that one third of the world’s population is infected with
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). Each year,
about 9 million people develop TB, of whom about 2 million die. Of the 9 million
annual TB cases, about 15% occur in children (under 15 years of age). Kenya is
among the 22 TB high TB burden countries in the world and is among the top 5 from
sub Saharan Africa. 75% of these childhood cases occur annually in these 22 high-
burden countries that together account for 80% of the world’s estimated incident
cases. In 2012 Kenya reported a total of 99,159 cases of all forms of TB (case
notification rate of 241/100,000). Paediatric age group of less than 15 years
constituted 9.3% of all cases notified which is a significant proportion requiring
17
special attention. In the last 5 years, Kenya has reported annual decline in the number
of reported TB cases at a rate of 1% possibly due to effective control interventions
coupled with the declining HIV prevalence in the population.
CLASIFICATION
TB is generally classified as either pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) or extra-
pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). For each case, the patient is either a new TB case
(one who has never previously received TB treatment for a month or longer) or a
retreatment case (one who has previously been treated for TB for one month or longer
in the past). It can also be classified according to severity as in table 1 below.
2. Severe TB
3. Retreatment
4. Multi-drug resistant TB
PATHOGENESIS
The pathogenesis and transmission of TB are inter-related. M. tuberculosis is
almost exclusively a human pathogen. How it interacts with the human host
determines its survival. From the perspective of the bacterium a successful host-
pathogen interaction is one that results in pathogen transmission. Initial infection is
usually self-limited and followed by a variable period of latency, which ultimately, in
a proportion of those infected, results in infectious pulmonary TB. Transmission from
a case of infectious pulmonary TB is by the airborne route in minute droplets of
moisture that become increasingly reduced by evaporation, creating "droplet nuclei"
18
Evolution of Initial Infection and Host Response
At the time of initial infection, the distribution of inhaled droplet nuclei in the
lung is determined by the pattern of regional ventilation. It thus tends to follow the
most direct path to the periphery and to favour the middle and lower lung zones,
which receive most of the ventilation. In immunocompetent hosts, it is theorized that
alveolar macrophages ingest the M. tuberculosis organisms and may or may not
destroy them, depending on the degree to which phagocytosing cells are
nonspecifically activated, on host genetic factors and on resistance mechanisms in the
bacteria. If bacteria are successfully cleared, then test results will remain negative on
the tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA).
When innate macrophage microbicidal activity is inadequate to destroy the initial
few bacteria of the droplet nucleus they replicate logarithmically, doubling every 24
hours until the macrophage bursts to release the bacterial progeny. New macrophages
attracted to the site engulf these bacilli, and the cycle continues. The bacilli may
spread from the initial lesion via the lymphatic and/or circulatory systems to other
parts of the body. After a period lasting from 3 to 8 weeks the host develops specific
immunity (cell-mediated immunity [CMI] and delayed-type hypersensitivity [DTH])
to the bacilli, and individuals typically show positive results on the TST or IGRA.
The resulting M. tuberculosis-specific lymphocytes migrate to the site of infection,
surrounding and activating the macrophages there. As the cellular infiltration
continues, the centre of the cell mass, or granuloma, becomes caseous and necrotic.
Radiographically demonstrable fibrocalcific residua of the initial infection include a
Ghon focus (a calcified granuloma in the lung) alone or in combination with a
calcified granulomatous focus in a draining lymph node (Ghon complex). Infection
and immune conversion are usually asymptomatic; any symptoms that do occur are
self-limited. In a small proportion of those infected, erythema nodosum (a cutaneous
immunologic response to an extracutaneous TB infection) or phlyctenular
conjunctivitis (a hypersensitivity reaction) may develop.
19
Early Disease Progression (Primary TB)
A proportion of those who are recently infected are unable to contain the infection
despite the stimulation of CMI and DTH, and there is progression to disease in a
matter of months. Such early disease progression is a function of age and
immunologic response, disease being especially likely to occur in young children and
the immunocompromised. A progressive Ghon focus, disseminated (miliary) disease
and central nervous system disease may occur as early as 2 to 6 months after infection
in infants and the severely immunocompromised. Uncomplicated and asymptomatic
lymph node disease (hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy without airway
involvement) may also occur in the first 2-6 months of infection, although there is
debate about whether this should be called active disease.
At 4-12 months after infection, early disease manifestations include complicated
lymph node disease (airway compression, expansile caseating pneumonia, infiltration
of adjacent anatomic structures), pleural disease (most commonly a lymphocyte-
predominant exudative effusion) and peripheral lymphadenitis (usually in the neck).
In immunocompetent children and adolescents early disease is more likely to
manifest as intrathoracic adenopathy and in adults as a unilateral pleural effusion. In
severely immunocompromised people of any age (e.g. those with advanced HIV or
AIDS), early disease may manifest as intrathoracic adenopathy. Rarely, in newly
infected people who are 10 years of age or older (pubertal) adult-type pulmonary
disease or other types of extrapulmonary TB (for example bone and joint TB) may
develop within the first 24 months of infection.
While early disease progression may or may not result from lympho-
hematogenous spread, late disease progression is almost always the result of the
lympho-hematogenous spread of bacilli. Recent infection with early disease
progression probably accounts for many cases of TB in recently arrived immigrants.
For purposes of disease reporting, everyone with a diagnosis of TB made within 18-
24 months of infection is considered to have "primary" disease (on balance about 5%
of those infected). Those newly infected people in whom TB does not develop within
this period of time will either be left with LTBI and will never experience disease (on
20
balance about 90% of those infected) or, after a variable period of latency, they will
develop late disease progression (on balance about 5% of those infected).
DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis of TB in children relies on history physical examination as well as
any relevant investigations e.g. TST, CXR and sputum smear microscopy. Even
though microbiological diagnosis is not always feasible, all efforts should be made to
do sputum microscopy where possible in children with suspected pulmonary
tuberculosis. A trial treatment with anti- TB drugs is not recommended as a method
of diagnosing TB in children.
History
The key elements of History are:
b) Symptoms suggestive of TB
The commonest symptoms associated with TB include the following:
Progressive and non-remitting cough for more than 2 weeks
21
The diagnosis of TB in children relies on a careful history and thorough physical
examination
Physical examination
Respiratory system During the physical examination, the following features may be
found in the respiratory system:
Child may have increased respiratory rate
Child may have signs of respiratory distress
Percussion may be normal. In pleural effusion have a stony dull percussion note
Auscultation is frequently normal. May have abnormal sounds (e.g. wheezing,
crackles, bronchial breathing)
In some cases, there may be atypical clinical presentations of PTB. In this case the child
will present with features of: Acute severe pneumonia
Presents with fast breathing and chest in-drawing
Occurs especially in infants and HIV-infected children
Suspect PTB if response to antibiotic therapy is poor. If HIV infected also suspect other
HIV-related lung disease e.g. PCP. Wheeze Asymmetrical and persistent wheeze can be
caused by airway compression due to enlarged tuberculous hilar lymph nodes.
Suspect PTB when wheeze is asymmetrical, persistent and non responsive to
bronchodilator therapy.
PTB can also present acutely as bronchopneumonia in children with tachypnoea,
respiratory distress and crackles. A normal respiratory clinical finding does not rule
out PTB.
Other systems TB can affect any part of the body apart from the hair, nails and teeth.
Apart from the general physical features suggestive of TB, a child may also present with
features that are specific to the affected system e.g. in TB meningitis a child may have
22
features of raised intracranial pressure or neurological deficit. This further increases the
need to have a thorough physical examination.
Investigations
After history and physical examination, if investigations are available in the facility or
nearby, attempt should be made to investigate every child suspected to have TB as
follows:
A positive Mantoux test is evidence that one is infected with M. Tuberculosis, but doesn’t
necessarily indicate disease. Correct technique of administering, reading and
interpretation of Mantoux text is very important. Mantoux is positive if induration is:
≥10mm in a well nourished, HIV negative child
≥5mm in a malnourished, or HIV infected child
A negative Mantoux does not rule out TB (especially in the HIV positive or malnourished
child)
b) Chest X-Ray
23
ALGORITHM FOR TB DIAGNOSIS IN CHILDREN
Notes:
1. All children with TB should be tested for HIV
2. Mantoux test should be regarded as positive if:
>5mm diameter of induration in high risk children (includes HIV-infected,
immune-suppressed and severely malnourished children)
>10 mm diameter of induration in other children ( whether they have received
vaccination or not)
24
3. Please note that a mantoux may be negative despite the child having TB especially in
severe disseminated TB, malnutrition and HIV disease.
4. Smear Positive result can be obtained from microscopy for ZN, TB culture, GeneXpert
5. A child in close contact with smear positive household member should be considered
TB infected and TST may not be necessary.
c) Laboratory diagnosis
This can be AFB microscopy and/or Gene Xpert and/or TB culture. As much as possible
collect the appropriate specimen for diagnosis:
Suspected PTB: Sputum or gastric aspirate
Suspected EPTB: Specimen from specific site - CSF, Fine needle aspirate of
lymph node, pleural aspirate, etc
d) HIV test
Making a diagnosis of HIV infection has obvious implications for the management of TB
and HIV. All children with suspected TB should be tested for HIV.
25
After anamnesis, physical examination, investigation then performed weighting by
scoring system. Patients with total score > 6 (equal to or greater than 6), should be treated
as a TB patient and receive treatment with anti-tuberculosis (OAT) drugs. If the score is
less than 6 but clinically suspicious in the direction of strong TB it is necessary to
perform other tests as indicated, such as gastric rinses, anatomical pathology, lumbar
puncture, pleural puncture, bone and joint photographs, fundoscopy, CT-Scan etc.
Note:
• Diagnosis with a scoring system is established by a doctor
• When found skrofuloderma (tb on glands and skin ), immediately diagnosed with TB.
• Weight is assessed when the patient arrives (moment of hospitalization)
• Fever and Cough have no response to standard therapy
• Chest X-ray is not a major diagnostic tool in child TB
• All children with rapid BCG reaction (local reaction within <7 days after injection) should be
evaluated by TB tuberculosis scoring system
• Children diagnosed with TB if the total score is> 6 (maximum score 13)
• Patients aged under five who received a score of 5, were referred to the hospital
26
Differential Diagnosis for child with Chronic Cough /Respiratory Symptoms
Other conditions to consider in a child with chronic cough /chronic respiratory symptoms
who does not fulfill the classical clinical picture of PTB include:
27
TREATMENT
The main objectives of anti- TB treatment in children are to:
Cure the child of TB
Prevent death from TB
Prevent the complications arising from TB disease
Prevent TB relapse by eliminating the dormant bacilli
Prevent the development of drug resistance by using a combination of drugs
Decrease TB transmission to others
Treatment outcomes in children are generally good even in the HIV infected
provided treatment is started promptly.
28
Once treatment is started it must be completed; “trial of TB treatment” should never
be used as a diagnostic tool
*Numeral refers to number of months of the regimen e.g. 2 HRZE refers to two months of
Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol H= Isoniazid R= Rifampicin Z=
Pyrazinamide E= Ethambutol
Ethambutol can be safely used in all children of all ages at recommended dosages of 20
mg/kg.
29
Additional Management Decisions
a) Hospitalization:
The following categories of children with TB should be treated as in- patients
Severe forms of PTB and EPTB (e.g. Spinal TB) for further investigation and initial
management.
TB meningitis
Severe malnutrition for nutritional rehabilitation
Signs of severe pneumonia (i.e. chest in-drawing)
Other co-morbidities e.g. severe anaemia
Social or logistic reasons to ensure adherence
Severe adverse reactions such as hepatotoxicity
b) Steroid therapy:
This should be given in the following situations:
TB meningitis
PTB with respiratory distress
PTB with airway obstruction by hilar lymph nodes
Severe Miliary TB
pericardial effusion
Give prednisone at 2mg/kg once daily for 4 weeks, and then taper down over 2 weeks (1mg/kg
for 7 days, then 0.5mg/kg for 7 days)
30
d) Immune re-constitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS)
This is a paradoxical deterioration after initial improvement following treatment initiation. Seen
during the initial weeks of TB treatment with initial worsening of symptoms due to immune re-
constitution. IRIS is commonly seen in the severely immuno-compromised TB/HIV co- infected
child after initiating ARV treatment. Management: Continue anti-TB therapy; give non steroidal
anti- inflammatory drugs or/and prednisone until severe symptoms subside.
f) Pyridoxine
Give pyridoxine 5 – 10 mg once daily to:
All malnourished children throughout the anti-TB therapy.
HIV infected children
Breast feeding infants.
Pregnant Adolescents
31
Sputum should be taken for AFBs at months 2, 4 and 6 for those who were smear positive at the
beginning of treatment. The following should be done at each visit:
Weigh the child at each visit. Document the weight and adjust dosage if necessary
Address Adherence issues
Explain and emphasize to care-giver and child why they must take the full course of
treatment even if they are feeling better
Note risk factors for poor adherence such as long distance to health facility, lack
of/transport costs, orphan ( especially if mother has died) or primary care-giver unwell
and adolescents
Education and adherence support especially TB/HIV. Explain that anti-TB drugs in
children are well tolerated and safe.
CXR is not required in follow-up if the child is responding well to anti-TB treatment
32
Refer children with suspected treatment failure for further assessment
Treatment Interruptions
If a child interrupts anti-TB treatment for a period less than 1 month, continue with their TB
treatment when they resume.
If the child interrupts anti-TB therapy for a period longer than 1 month, put them on a re-
treatment regimen when they resume.
