Q

UW. table. What about risk in CKD?

IGRA does not give a false positive with BCG.

41
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. IGRA can be done instead of PPD. minimal response in what conditions?

A

A minimal response to control antigens is most often seen with lymphocyte immunosuppression due to HIV or the use of the
immunomodulatory medications (discontinue them a couple of weeks before doing the test).

43
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. Negative PPD. whats next?

A

annual screen or 2-tier test.

44
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening.
Patients with CKD will have a negative TST cannot rule out active TB infection.

45
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening.
Both interferon-based testing and tuberculin skin testing can be falsen negative.

46
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. negative xray?

A

Negative –> latent TB.
● Treatment: isoniazid and vitamin b6 for 9 months.
● Rescreen yearly with CXR.

47
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. positive xray?

A

AFB smear.

48
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. AFB smear. how is performed?

A

AFB smear: 3 early morning samples 24 hours apart.

49
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. AFB smear - negative?

50
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. AFB smear - positive?

A

active TB
—> treatment RIPE

51
Q

UW. TBC. Asymptomatic screening. AFB smear.

TB cannot be ruled out from a single negative AFB result.

52
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. what first steps?

A

start with CXR and confirm with AFB.

53
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. positive xray –>?

A

confirm with AFB.

airborne precaution and RIPE.

54
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. Positive xray –> negative AFB –>?

A

latent TB –> isoniazid and B6 for 9 months.

55
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. Negative xray –> AFB negative–>?

A

something else, not TBC

56
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. Negative xray –> AFB positive on culture –>?

A

nontubercular mycobacteria.

57
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. what perform if pleural effusions present?

A

thoracentesis –> adenosine deaminase positive.

58
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. what is the last resort of diagnostic?

A

NAAT PCR is a very last resort to ELIMINATE TB as a possibility.

59
Q

UW. TBC. SYMPTOMATIC screening. how to take sample from children?

A

Children who cannot generate sputum –> do gastric lavage which recover M. tuberculosis from the swallowed secretions.

60
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. AFB smear microscopy. price, sensitivity?

A

Low cost and rapid (minutes to hours)

Low sensitivity because high burden of mo/s required in sample (>10 000/ml).

61
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. AFB smear microscopy. what can/cannot differentiate?

A

CANNOT differentiate TB from non-TB mycobacteria

62
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. Nucleic acid amplification testing. cost, sensitivity?

A

Higher cost, slightly less rapid (1-2days)
Higher sensitivity (only 10 bacilli/ml required for positive test)

63
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. Nucleic acid amplification testing. how about differentiation?

A

CAN differentiate TB from non-TB mycobacteria

64
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. Sputum culture. in general?

A

GOLD STANDARD
Quantitative and allows for drug sensitivity testing

Slow - takes 3-8 weeks.

65
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. what is gold standard?

A

Sputum culture.

66
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. what allows for drug sensitivity?

A

Sputum culture.

67
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. which CAN differentiates TB and nonTB mycobacteria?

A

Nucleic acid amplification testing.

68
Q

UW. Diagnostic tests table. which CANNOT differentiate TB and nonTB mycobacteria?

A

AFB smear microscopy

69
Q

UW table. PPD/TST induration table. >=5 mm. what patients to treat?

A

HIV-positive patients

Recent contact of known TB case

Nodular or fibrotic changes on xray consistent with previously healed TB

Organ transplant recipients and other immunosuppressed patients

70
Q

UW table. PPD/TST induration table. >=10 mm. what patients to treat?

A

Recent immigrants (<5years) from TB endemic areas

Injection drug users

Residents and employess of high-risk settings (prisons, nursing homes, hospitals, homeless shelter)

Mycobacteriology lab personnel

High risk for reactivation TB (DM, prolonged corticosteroid therapy, leukemia, ESRD, chronic malabsorption syndromes)

Children < 4y/o, or those exposed to adults in high-risk categories

72
Q

UW table. PPD/TST induration table. >=15 mm. what patients to treat?

A

All of above plus healthy individuals

73
Q

Ghon focus?

74
Q

Ghon complex?

A

Ghon focus + lymphadenopathy

75
Q

Latent infection?

A

Dormant bacteria contained within walled-off foci

76
Q

LATENT infection –> reactivated bacteria spread bronchogenically and cause extensive cavitation (IT IS CALLED SECONDARY TBC) ———–> spread to other organs (hematologic dissemination)

77
Q

RESOLUTION?

A

Bacterial clearance and scar formation

78
Q

PROGRESSIVE PRIMARY TBC = Failed immune response results in progressive lung consolidation and necrosis –> milliary TBC –> spread extrapulmonary (hematologic dissemination)

79
Q

M. first Dx test?

80
Q

M. first Dx test if Hx of BCG vaccine?

81
Q

M. PPD/IGRA positive –> next best step?

A

chest x ray

82
Q

M. xray positive –> next best step?

A

Tx of active TB

83
Q

M. PPD/IGRA positive –> x ray negative -> next best step?

A

Tx of latent Tb/prophylaxis of TB

84
Q

M. what need to add if isoniazid is used for Tx?

A

pyridodine (vit B) - to prevent neuropathy

85
Q

M. when after exposure, culture is positive?

86
Q

M. >-5 mm one more population not mentioned before?

A

Use prednisone (1,5 mg day for 1 month); also anti-TNF alfa use

87
Q

M. Disseminated (miliary), what organs?

A

PSOAS abscess, POTT disease (TB in vertebral), adrenal insuff, meningitis, arthritis, osteomyelitis
