*Even though the HIV prevalence rates have
stabilized in sub-Saharan Africa, the actual
number of people infected continues to grow
because of population growth. Applying the
same prevalence rate to a growing population
will result in increasing numbers of people living
with HIV.

So what influenced Botswana to be the trend setters???
Obviously the foresight and wisdom of Botswana’s
leaders, but aided by…
Brian Gazzard, Lisbon IAS 1999
-projection of reduction of costs when HIV is treated
The Durban AIDS Conference with Jeffrey Sach’s
projection on how NO developing country could afford
NOT to treat HIV

– 40% of HIV wasted patients who died had TB
Lewis 2005 Malawi
– 10% of HIV patients with severe anemia had
disseminated TB diagnosed by bone marrow

Malawi- 1999
– 2979 Health workers died- 50% TB
- 40% AIDS
– 105 TB control officers died
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of

Outcomes of TB in Malawi
HIV +ve only 20% still alive 2 years after
diagnosis (No treatment for HIV then)
HIV neg 50% only still alive at 7 yrs
11-12% of TB notifications
recurrences/relapse- strong HIV
association
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of

Outcomes of Isoniazid Prophylaxis (IPT) on
Incidence of TB
IPT Reduces TB risk 40% (Wilkinson, BMJ 1998)
IPT Reduces risk of recurrence 50-80% (Churchyard
AIDS 2003, Fitzgerald Lancet 2000)
HAART reduces TB risk but NOT back to normal
If patient has NO HAART
9.7 risk of TB per 100 pt yrs
If patient on HAART
2.4 TB cases /100 pt yrs- Badri Lancet 2001
continues reducing to 1% by 5 yrs Lawn
AIDS 2005
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of

Deaths due to TB
60% of TB deaths in 1st 2 months
Early HAART after 2 weeks reduces
deaths
However Increased IRIS with possible
deaths with early HAART in first 3m
A balance has to be struck

Changing Patterns of Pneumococcal
Infection in Southern Africa
Generally Increasing prevalence of invasive
pneumococcal illness in developing countries. In RSA it
seems to have replaced Haemophilus Influenza in LRTIs
– Now 74% vs 12.9% Hib- reverse ratio
Increased prevalence of Paediatric (invasive) serotypes
in HIV+ patients
Increased mortality-65% with meningitis Malawi
-20% with pneumonia
Increased symptoms and signs with HIV+ patients
– Pleurisy, haemoptysis, diarrhoea, meningitis,
Degree of risk CD4 driven
– average CD4 in patients who died was 110 vs 170 in survivors

Note, modellers!
Risks now have changed– HIV+ (Lost immunity to paediatric strains)
– Young women
– Small child in home
– Health worker
– Abuse of drugs,
– smoking or alcohol
Antibiotic resistance and severity of illness
increase with HIV

Morbidity reduced with HAART
– Spain, rate of invasive pneumococcal disease
dropped from 24.1/1000 in 1985 to 2/1000
(We have yet to see those results in Southern
Africa)
– However still increased risk X 30 to 35x
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of
Infectious Diseases in Africa- the Role
of Mathematical Modelling
Pneumococcal vaccine
Normal paediatric pneumococcal vaccine
reduces prevalence of paediatric
serotypes and greatly reduces risk
However other less virulent strains replace
them
Note- NOT the 23 valent vaccine- seemed
to increase morbidity in Rakai- ? Due to
severe immunocompromisation?

Malaria
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of
Infectious Diseases in Africa- the Role
of Mathematical Modelling
Malaria
Clinical Manifestations vary depending if occurs in stable or unstable
transmission areas
– Unstable
acute febrile disease, cerebral malaria and death;
still birth and abortion in pregnant women
– Stable
Children chronic recurrent infections with anemia and growth retardation
Adults acquired immunity, asymptomatic,
Pregnant women, increased foetal growth retardation and increased infant
mortality
Severity in adults and children invariably aggravated by HIV,
especially in unstable areas; with increased risk of Intensive care
and death (Cohen CID 2005, Grimwald Ped Inf Disease 2003)
Infants in stable areas get more frequent and severe anaemia (van
Eijke,AJTMH,2002)

Effect of HIV on malaria
3 million excess cases
5% increase of malaria deaths(65,000)
Increases parasitaemia with increasing
immunosuppression, reduced clearance ability
Under 5 yrs of age, 1.7 fold increase in clinical
disease
Max impact in unstable transmission areas
– Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe. South Africa
– Incidence increased 28% (14-40.7%)
– Deaths increased 114% (37-188%)

Effect of Malaria on HIV
Reversible increase viral load (2 fold in
pregnancy)
Malawi- increased neonatal mortality (AIDS
1999)
Possible reduction in CD4
No evidence of mother to child
transmission increase
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of
Infectious Diseases in Africa- the Role
of Mathematical Modelling
Hepatitis B
Worldwide huge burden
– 2 billion people infected
– 400 million chronic infection
– 500,000 to 1 million deaths annually
Chronic hepatitis
Cirrhosis
Hepatocellular carcinoma
Jean Nachega
Subsaharan Africa
Horizontal transmission (Infected older siblings)
Acquired mainly between 6 months and 5 yrs
Some sexual transmission
– Most exposed to HBV as children before HIV
exposure
Some perinatal transmission (+ or- HIV)
Coinfection with HIV may result in
– Reactivation of infection in silent chronic carriers
– New HBV infection as protective immunity lost with
HIV
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of
Infectious Diseases in Africa- the Role
of Mathematical Modelling
HOWEVER
– Botswana our own stats show 40% incidence
of exposure but <1% hepB sAG positive
Increased risk of Haart related hepatotoxicity
Increased liver related mortality
IDCC no longer screens for this as numbers are so
small there is no impact on disease management
– South Africa 2 studies concur
41-43.3% evidence of previous or current infection

Kaposi Sarcoma
HHSV8 associated
– Men more common in West
– Similar prevalence of HHSv8 in M and F in sub saharan Africa
Incidence risen in Zimbabwe from
– 2.3/100,000 in males and 0.3/100,000 in females pre HIV
– Now 48/100,000 and 18/100,000 in 2001
Incidence risen in Uganda by 20 or 30 times in the last 2
decades, 81% HIV+
Incidence increased in South Africa by 2 (??)
Women seem to have more aggressive and symptomatic
disease ?due to increased cytokines. Maybe biological
difference?

Cervical Cancer
Associated with oncogenic Human Papilloma Virus
Increases in Africa across all age groups
– Uganda, increases predate HIV epidemic
An international Collaboration on HIV and Ca Cervix showed 1.88
increased incidence and no change with HAART
HIV-infected women more likely than HIV-negative women to be
coinfected with HPV 1
– (58% vs 24%; P < .01)
HIV infected women more likely to have multiple strains of HPV
(clearance of HPV affected)
HIV-infected women more likely to have high-risk HPV infection 1
– (23% vs 14%; P < .01)

Genital Herpes
Herpes Simplex 2 responsible for
recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes
Increases HIV shedding in HIV+ patients
Increases infectiousness of HIV+ and the
likelihood of infection in HIV- patient
exposed to HIV (upregulates mucosal
immune activity)
HIV increases severity of lesions and
duration
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of
Infectious Diseases in Africa- the Role
of Mathematical Modelling
Other infectious diseases with
differences
Toxoplasmosis
– COMMON opportunistic Infection in the west
– <1% among our HIV patients
Cytomegalovirus
– Causes devastating disease in very immune
compromised people, may result in blindness
– 50-65% previous exposure in the west
– 99.5% Botswana
Cryptococcus
– Very common in our setting
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of
Infectious Diseases in Africa- the Role
of Mathematical Modelling
Diarrhoea in HIV+ patients
Cryptosporidium
Microsporidium
Isospora Belli
Salmonella, recurrent- not easily cleared
As well as all the usual causes of diarrhoea
Botswana has recently had a country wide epidemic of
Cryptosporidium and enteropathogenic E Coli

Where does all this lead to?
Where do modellers come in??
We need to be able to INFLUENCE
POLICY- you can help us there
We need to be able to
– predict the changing faces of the different
diseases
– Evaluate different prevention strategies
– Evaluate different treatment interventions
– Prioritise
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of
Infectious Diseases in Africa- the Role
of Mathematical Modelling
We need you for
Programme Planning
–
–
–
–
Costs of prevention and testing
Costs of treatment, both of HIV but other diseases
Costs of laboratory tests, diagnostic and monitoring
Human resource management, number of health
workers required in different situations
– Education of Health Care Workers, costs and
personnel needed
– Social programmes necessary
Orphan care, education
Feeding programmes
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of

And for the fun things?
Modelling even paints fitness landscapes
of individual HIV viruses and enables
prediction of resistance mutation patterns
09/2006 Facing the Challenges of

I don’t know what we could do without you!
We would be struggling at an individual
level to make an impact
You paint the bigger picture
With you we can crack this epidemic, you
have already shown the way!
