Case 1
27 y/o man from Ethiopia,
admitted with cough, fevers,
and 20 lb. weight loss over
one month
Sputum - rare AFB
HIV-positive, CD4 - 18, viral
load > 1,000,000
Dramatic initial improvement
with IRZE
Case 1
1. Should antiretroviral therapy be started during TB
treatment?
2. When during TB therapy should antiretroviral
therapy be started?
3. What regimens can be used for co-treatment of HIV
and TB therapy?

pre-HAART era – San Francisco
N Engl J Med 1991; 324: 289-94
Complicating factors: antiretroviral
therapy during TB therapy


Need for coordination between TB and HIV
treatment programs
Challenge of adherence to multidrug therapy
for both diseases

Overlapping drug toxicity profiles

Drug interactions

Immune reconstitution (paradoxical)
reactions
SAPiT: Starting Antiretroviral therapy
(ART) in three Points in TB
Primary Objective:
 To determine the optimal time to initiate ARVs in TB
patients
Inclusion Criteria:
 Smear pulmonary TB
 HIV positive with CD4 count < 500 cells/mm3
 Effective contraception (efavirenz)
Endpoint
 10 – all-cause mortality

Timing of ART in patients with TB

Advanced AIDS (CD4 < 50): immediate ART (within 2
weeks) improves survival




Markedly increased risk of IRIS, including fatal IRIS
events
Overall survival benefit despite IRIS
CD4 > 50: early ART (~ 2 months) provides good
balance of competing risks of death/AIDS vs. IRIS
Caveats

CNS involvement – no benefit to immediate therapy,
and there may be increased risk (Clin Infect Dis.
2011;52:1374-83)

Programmatic complexities of early ART
Programmatic challenges of immediate
ART during TB treatment

Rapid HIV diagnosis

Rapid provisional diagnosis of TB



Rapid way to identify those in need of
immediate ART: CD4 cell count, BMI, clinical
status
ART available in settings where TB is
diagnosed (hospital or clinic)
Training in diagnosis and management of IRD
events
Adverse events during treatment of HIV-TB
 54% (99/167) had adverse events,
 34% interrupted TB or HIV therapy
 Common adverse events
 Peripheral neuropathy (21%) - more common
with use of stavudine
 Skin rash (17%) - TB drugs (16), co-trimoxazole
(7), nevirapine (2), other drugs (4)
 hepatitis (6%) - TB drugs (6), unknown (5)

Rifabutin and TB therapy





Rifabutin is as active as rifampin
No dose adjustments of ART needed for
commonly-used drugs (ATZ, lopinavir/R)
Decrease RBT from 300 mg daily to 150 mg
daily when given with boosted PIs
Give remainder of TB drugs daily
Caution – RBT dose would be inadequate if
patient stopped PI
HIV, TB drug interaction - summary




Drug interactions in HIV-TB are regrettably
complex, but should not prevent HIV-TB cotreatment
Co-treatment regimen of choice: rifampinbased TB treatment + efavirenz-based
(standard dose) ART
Drug interactions should be managed, not
avoided – use a rifamycin-based regimen

IRIS in the CAMELIA study (median CD4
of 25)




Immediate ART increased risk of IRIS (33%
vs. 14% for early ART)
Similar timing of IRIS events (14 vs. 16 days
after starting ART
6 deaths, all in the immediate arm, were
attributed to IRIS events
However, immediate ART was associated with
a lower risk of death (8% vs. 14%)
N Engl J Med 2011; 365: 1471-81
IRIS events - implications for use of
antiretroviral therapy (ART)




Those who need ART the most (patients with low
CD4 cell counts) have higher risk for an IRIS
event and for a serious IRIS event
Delaying ART decreases risk of severe paradoxical
reactions, but increases risk of another OI or
death
Anticipate IRIS events – discuss beforehand with
patient and other care providers
Schedule early follow-up after starting ARV detect and manage IRIS events
Management of IRIS



Anticipate IRIS events – warn patients and other
care providers
Rule out other possible causes – bacterial
infections, a 2nd OI, inadequate Rx for OI, drugresistant pathogen
For relatively severe manifestations, prednisone
is reasonable

1 mg/kg (1.5 mg/kg with rifampin), tapering over
4-6 weeks
What’s happening in the clinic? Starting ART
in TB patients in London, 1998-2007)

British recommendations (at that time)
CD4 < 100 – at 2 weeks
CD4 100-200 – at 2 months
CD4 > 200 – after TB treatment

83 patients eligible to start ART

20 patients (24%) started ART at the
recommended point in TB treatment
Thorax 2008;63:935
Reasons for the delay in starting ART
among patients with CD4 < 100


Patient-related reasons:
 Refused to start
 Fear of side effects of ART
 Poor adherence
Physician-related reasons:
 Serious side effect of TB treatment
 Concern about ART side effects / IRIS
 Presence of another illness
 Seriousness of the manifestations of TB

Starting ART during TB treatment –
summary of the steps required







Start TB therapy, deal with initial side effects
Help patient deal with the diagnosis of two
stigmatizing diseases
Start cotrimoxazole, deal with initial side effects
Assess readiness for HAART
Coordinate start of ART (~ 2 weeks for CD4 < 50,
~ 2 months for CD4 > 50)
Use DOT visits to  adherence with HAART
Anticipate and manage immune reconstitution
events
Summary – treatment of HIV-related TB:
issues with antiretroviral therapy

Should antiretroviral therapy be used during TB
treatment?


What regimens can be used for co-treatment of HIV
and TB?



Yes, for all patients
Preferred: efavirenz-based HAART + rifampin-based TB
