Objectives
§ Select and interpret diagnostic tests for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in HIV-infected patients
§ Design an LTBI treatment plan that accounts for ART drug interactions
§ Identify appropriate methods to screen for LTBI vs. diagnose active TB
§ Describe when to start ART in TB and major rifamycin-ART interactions
§ Manage TB immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS)

Tuberculosis: A major global health problem

Case 1
§ A 41 year-old man from San Francisco presents to your clinic for evaluation. Two weeks ago, he was diagnosed with HIV.
§ Initial labs show:- CD4 120, HIV RNA 75,000 - Interferon gamma release assay (IGRA): Indeterminate
§ He denies any history of TB infection and does not know of any contacts with TB
§ He has experienced homelessness and has had brief periods of incarceration in the past

Audience Response41M from SF with new HIV (CD4 120, VL 75K) and indeterminate IGRA
What is the correct interpretation of this indeterminate IGRA result and what is your next step?
A. TB infected; rule out active TB and treat him B. TB exposed, uninfected; do nothingC. TB infection cannot be determined; re-test when CD4 is higherD. TB exposed OR BCG vaccinated; obtain a PPD “tie-breaker”E. TB infection cannot be determined; obtain a PPD “tie-breaker”

Screening for LTBI in HIV
§ WHO?- All HIV patients, regardless of
risk factors§ WHY?- Increased risk of progression to
active disease- Poor outcomes with active
disease- Effective treatments exist
§ WHEN?- At HIV diagnosis or entry into
care- In those with negative LTBI test
& CD4<200 à repeat after ART started & CD4>200
- If likely ongoing/repeat exposure to active TB: Screen annually
- Recent contact with a known TB case

TST vs. IGRABoth 65-70% sensitive in PLHIV
Diagnostic Approach
Strengths Limitations
TST§ Vast experience,
abundant data§ Cheaper
§ Requires 2 visits§ False positives possible with BCG*§ Can remain positive after LTBI,
active TB tx
IGRAs§ Requires 1 visit§ Interpretation not
subjective§ More specific than TST§ Unaffected by BCG
§ Technical errors§ Must be processed in 8-30hrs§ False positives with some other
mycobacteria§ Limited data in children, recent TB
exposure, CD4<200§ Can remain positive after LTBI,
active TB tx
*BCG status should NOT affect PPD interpretation
13
QuantiFERON-TB Gold-Plus
§ 4th generation IGRA FDA approved 6/2017§ Advances/Advantages1
- Adds CD8+ T cell antigens- Option for single tube blood collection- Non-inferior sensitivity
§ PLHIV2
- Overall sensitivity not affected by HIV status- Lower sensitivity with severe
immunosuppression

...but wouldn’t a tie-breaker help?
§ 294 HIV positive San Franciscans underwent TST & Quanteriferon1
- 30% did not return for PPD follow up- Concordance of tests: 89.3%
§ BUT if one test was positive: only 28% had concordance
1Luetkemeyer, Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2007; 2Mazurek, MMWR, June 2010.
“…the predictive value of this approach is not clear, and its adoption would be more expensive and more difficult to implement. The routine use of both TST and IGRAs to
screen for LTBI is not recommended in the United States”2

Case 1 (continued)
§ You start him on Descovy (TAF/FTC) and Dolutegravir§ 3 month labs demonstrate: - CD4 is 230, VL undetectable- Repeat QuantiFERON positive
§ He is asymptomatic§ CXR is within normal limits
You decide to treat him for LTBI.

Indications to Treat HIV-positive patients for LTBI
1. New positive LTBI test and negative workup for active TB
2. Close contact with active TB and negative workup for active TB
à BCG history should not affect the decision to treat in HIV positive individuals for LTBI

Exceptions to Treating LTBI: Pregnancy
- Population: 956 HIV+ women (all but 1 on ART)- Exposure: IPT during pregnancy vs. IPT 12 weeks post-partum- Primary Outcome: Maternal adverse events + Tx discontinuation
§ Occurred in 15.1% immediate group vs 15.2% deferred group
- Adverse pregnancy outcome: 24% immediate, 17% deferred (p=0.01)àIn high prevalence TB setting, safer to defer IPT until 12 weeks postpartum in WLHIV on ART (unless recent TB exposure)

LTBI Treatment monitoring
§ Baseline LFTs in all HIV-positive individuals on ART§ Repeat LFTs if:- Abnormal LFTs at baseline- Underlying liver disease (HBV, HCV, EtOH, cirrhosis)- Regular EtOH- Concomitant hepatotoxic medications
§ Elevated LFTs—when to stop?- Symptomatic + >3x ULN- Asymptomatic + >5x ULN

EXCEPTION: TB meningitis2à early ART associated with increased AE, exercise caution
47
Antiretrovirals and anti-TB therapy: It’s complicated!
§ Pill burden: 4 drugs for TB + HIV Meds§ Overlapping toxicities: Common side effects§ Coordination of the programs: TB care and HIV care are
not always linked§ First line TB regimens should contain a rifamycin
(rifampin, rifabutin)- Rifampin potent inducer of metabolizing enzymes and transporters- Rifabutin metabolism inhibited by PIs

Recent Developments in TB Prevention
Tait et. al NEJM, 2019
§ Population: 3289 HIV-negative adults in Africa§ Exposure: 2 doses of the M72/AS01E candidate vaccine vs 2 doses
of placebo, 1 month apart§ Result: Mean 2.7 years' follow-up: - Pulmonary TB: 0.3 versus 0.6 cases per 100 person-years.
§ Overall 36-month efficacy was 49.7%.
57
Conclusions
1. Screen all PLHIV for TB at diagnosis or entry into care• Screen high risk patients annually
2. TST or IGRA can be used to screen for LTBI3. Treat LTBI: It prevents TB and reduces mortality4. 9 months of INH is the preferred LTBI treatment regimen;
alternatives exist, but beware of drug-drug interactions5. CO-TREATMENT OF HIV AND TB SAVES LIVES
• Start ART ASAP and <2 weeks in TB/HIV pts with CD4<50
6. Rifamycins have multiple interactions with ART7. Prednisone has a role in prevention and treatment of TB-
