Objectives
• Review the treatment regimens for latent TB
infection (LTBI)
• Review the treatment regimens for drug-susceptible
TB disease
• Review adverse reactions to TB medications

Latent TB Infection (LTBI) Treatment
• Rationale
• To prevent the development of active disease
• Component of TB control
• Durability of protection against reactivation
depends on regional prevalence of TB and risk
for reexposure
• A decision to test for LTBI is a decision to treat
©2013 MFMER | slide-4
Targeted Testing for LTBI
High Likelihood of Exposure to TB
High Risk of Progression to Active TB
Close contacts of a person with
infectious TB disease
HIV Infection
Persons who have immigrated from
Recent LTBI test conversion (within past
areas of the world with high rates of TB 2 years)
Residents/employees of high-risk
History of prior, untreated TB or fibrotic
congregate settings (correctional
lesions on chest radiograph
health
facilities, homeless shelters, healthcare
care
facilities)
facilities)
Those receiving TNF-α antagonists for
treatment of autoimmune diseases
Solid organ transplant, lymphoma,
leukemia, head and neck cancer,
chemotherapy
Chronic kidney disease requiring
hemodialysis
Children who have positive LTBI test
©2013 MFMER | slide-5
Prior to Treatment
• Symptom screen
• Chest X-ray
• Rule out active disease
• Assess for medical conditions and medications
that may affect treatment choices
• Determine whether patient has ever been
treated for LTBI or TB disease
• Establish rapport with patient; explain therapy
and adverse effects
©2013 MFMER | slide-6
Which LTBI treatment regimens require
directly observed therapy (DOT)?
A) Daily isoniazid x 9 months
B) Twice weekly isoniazid x 9 months
C) Daily rifampin x 4 months
D) Weekly isoniazid + rifapentine
E) B & D

Isoniazid (INH) + Rifapentine (RPT)
• INH/RPT weekly x 3 mo (DOT) noninferior to 9 mo daily
INH (self-administered) in randomized open label trial
• N=7731, mostly HIV(-) in Brazil, Canada, Spain, and US
• ≥ 12 years old (later ≥ 2 yo) + 1 of 4 high-risk groups (recent LTBI test
conversion, recent exposure to contagious TB, CXR consistent with
healed pulmonary TB, HIV infection and not on ARVs with + LTBI test
or close TB contact)
• Completion rate was 82% for INH/RPT and 69% for INH
(p<0.01)
• Hepatoxicity greater in INH than INH/RPT (2.7% vs 0.4%;
p<0.001)
• Higher rates of permanent drug discontinuation due to an
adverse event in the rifapentine/INH group (4.9 % vs. 3.7 %;
p=0.009)
N Engl J Med. 2011 Dec;365(23):2155-66
©2013 MFMER | slide-10
Isoniazid + Rifapentine
• Further study is needed for:
• Completion /efficacy without DOT
• Durability of protection/ efficacy/toxicity in
those with HIV (also with antiretrovirals)
• Efficacy/toxicity in other groups without
recent infection (prior to TNF-α inhibitors)
• Utility where the incidence of TB is high

Pyridoxine and Isoniazid – Who Needs It?
• Those at increased risk for peripheral neuropathy
• Diabetes mellitus
• Alcohol dependence
• HIV
• Chronic kidney disease
• Malnutrition
• Pregnant/breastfeeding women
©2013 MFMER | slide-13
Monitoring of LTBI Therapy
• Everyone should have initial clinical evaluation prior to starting
therapy with monthly clinical monitoring for signs/symptoms of
hepatitis and adherence to medication while on therapy
• For weekly INH/RPT, ask about signs/symptoms with each dose
• Baseline liver enzyme testing in those with:
•
•
•
•
•
Underlying liver disease
HIV infection
Pregnant /postpartum (≤ 3 mo after delivery)
Regular alcohol consumption
Medication(s) with potential hepatotoxicity
• Routine lab monitoring during treatment for those whose baseline
liver function tests are abnormal or those at risk for hepatic disease
Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2000;161(4 Pt 2):S221.
©2013 MFMER | slide-14
When Should LTBI Therapy be Stopped?
• Liver enzymes are:
• ≥ 3 times upper limit of normal
range and patient has symptoms
OR
• ≥ 5 times upper limit of the normal range and
patient has no symptoms
©2013 MFMER | slide-15
Pregnant Women
• For most LTBI treatment can be delayed until
after delivery, unless they have significant
immunocompromising conditions, HIV, or recent
TB contact
• INH is safe during pregnancy
• Preferred LTBI treatment regimen is 9 months of INH
with pyridoxine
• INH is safe for breastfeeding, give with pyridoxine
©2013 MFMER | slide-16
LTBI Treatment Key Points
• Test and treat those at high risk for TB exposure and/or
progression to active disease
• Isoniazid daily x 9 months or Isoniazid + rifapentine
weekly x 3 months with DOT (with caveats) are
preferred regimens
• LTBI treatment regimens that include weekly or biweekly dosing require DOT
• Prior to treatment for LTBI, patients need clinical
evaluation + CXR to rule out active TB disease
• While on therapy patients need monthly clinical
monitoring; baseline liver enzymes for those at risk
©2013 MFMER | slide-17
Treatment of Drug-Susceptible TB Disease
Initial Phase
Continuation
Phase
• First 8 weeks of treatment
• Most bacilli killed during this phase
• 4 drugs used
• After first 8 weeks of TB disease
treatment (18 or 31 weeks duration)
• Bacilli remaining after initial
phase are treated with at least 2
drugs
©2013 MFMER | slide-18
First Line TB Drug Abbreviations
• Rifamycins:
• Rifampin (Rifampicin, RIF, R)
• Rifabutin (RFB)
• Rifapentine (RPT)
• Isoniazid (INH, H)
• Pyrazinamide (PZA, Z)
• Ethambutol (EMB, E)
• Streptomycin (SM, S)
©2013 MFMER | slide-19
Mechanisms of Action
• Rifampin
• Binds to RNA polymerase and blocks RNA synthesis;
• Bactericidal; Sterilizing activity due to activity against
semi-dormant bacteria
• Isoniazid
• Inhibits mycolic acid synthesis
• Bactericidal
• Pyrazinamide
• Potent sterilizing ability within acidic environment of
areas of acute inflammation, suppuration
• Ethambutol
• Cell wall inhibition
©2013 MFMER | slide-20
Current Preferred Regimens for DrugSusceptible TB disease:
• Isoniazid, Rifampin, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol
• Isoniazid & Rifampin are the cornerstones
• Both are bactericidal against rapidly dividing mycobacteria
• Rifampin also exhibits excellent late sterilizing effect on semidormant organisms
• Non-INH based regimen = usually 9 months
• Non-Rifampin regimen = 12-18 months (variable)
• Pyrazinamide
• Potent sterilizing ability
• Non-pyrazinamide based regimen = 9 months
©2013 MFMER | slide-21
Standard TB Therapy for Drug-Susceptible
Disease
• Initial Phase:
• 4 drugs for 2 months (8 weeks)
• Rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, ethambutol
• Okay to stop ethambutol, once it is known that
isolate is susceptible to rifampin, isoniazid, and
pyrazinamide

In what cases should the continuation phase of
TB therapy be prolonged from 4 months to 7
months?
A. HIV co-infection
B. Cavitary disease with positive cultures at end
of initiation phase
C. Initiation regimens of Isoniazid, Rifampin, and
Ethambutol, without use of PZA
D. B and C
©2013 MFMER | slide-23
Standard TB Disease Continuation Therapy
• Continuation Phase:
• Rifampin & Isoniazid for 4 months (18 weeks)
• Six months (26 weeks) total course of therapy
• If PZA not used in initiation, then 7 months (31 wk) continuation
• Continuation Phase: for cavitary disease
AND positive cultures after initiation phase
• Rifampin & Isoniazid x 7 months (31 weeks) if cavitary disease
at diagnosis and positive cultures after initiation phase at 2
months
• Rifapentine should not be used
• Nine months (39 weeks) total course of therapy

Noncompliance or Abandonment of Therapy
is Major Impediment of TB Treatment
• Directly observed therapy (DOT) has been
shown to:
• Facilitate treatment completion rates and
bacteriologic evidence of cure
• Decrease acquired and primary drug resistance
• Decrease relapse rates
• CDC and American Thoracic Society (ATS)
recommend consideration of DOT for all and
• Especially for those with drug resistant organisms,
cavitary disease, or HIV infection

Key Points: Treatment of TB Disease
• Initiation:
• RIF/INH/PZA/EMB until susceptibilities
confirmed
• Can stop EMB if susceptible to RIF/INH/PZA
• RIF/INH/PZA for 8 weeks
• Continuation:
• RIF/INH for 18 weeks
• If PZA not used in initiation or if patient has
cavitary disease + positive cultures at 8 wks,
then RIF/INH continued for 31 weeks

Treatment of Extrapulmonary TB Disease
• Generally the same treatment as for pulmonary
TB
• Addition of corticosteroids for:
• TB pericarditis
• TB meningitis
• Recommended that duration of therapy be
extended to 9-12 months for TB meningitis
• May extend to 18 months for tuberculoma

Rifampin Adverse Effects
• Most Common:
• Rash, generally self-limited. True hypersensitivity
rare.
• Nausea/vomiting
• Hepatotoxicity: (usually cholestatic; bilirubin is a
clue)
• Orange discoloration of body fluids
Less Common:
• Influenza-like syndrome
• Cytopenias - WBC, platelets
• Nephrotoxicity; interstitial nephritis
• Hypersensitivity reactions
©2013 MFMER | slide-30
Rifampin Drug Interactions
• Rifampin induces its own metabolism during the
first 2 weeks
• Induces cyt p450 system & decreases levels of:
•
•
•
•
Steroids, OCP/estrogen
Protease inhibitors
Warfarin
Antiepileptics
• Methadone, morphine
• Digoxin, calcium channel blockers, β-blockers
• Azoles + many others
©2013 MFMER | slide-31
Isoniazid Adverse Effects
• Transient asymptomatic elevation of AST/ALT in 10-15%
(usually in 1st 4-8 weeks of therapy) – usually resolves
• Hepatotoxicity / hepatitis
• Increased in HIV (4x), HCV (5x) or both HIV-HCV (14x) co-infections
• Usually in 1st 4-8 weeks of therapy) – typically 0.1-1% risk without
underlying liver disease
• Rapid improvement (AST/ALT) after stopping drugs - clue to INH
toxicity
• Peripheral neuropathy – give vitamin B6 (10-50 mg/day)
to prevent
• Hypersensitivity (fever, rash)
• (+) ANA (< 20%)
• Lupus-like reaction (<10%)
©2013 MFMER | slide-32
Ethambutol Adverse Effects
• Retrobulbar / optic neuritis -  visual field;  red-green
color discrimination
• Monitoring - Visual acuity & color vision (baseline
and monthly)
• Other: peripheral neuropathy (rare)
• Contraindications:
• Pre-existing optic neuritis (from any cause)
• Inability (i.e. young pt. age) to report visual
disturbances
©2013 MFMER | slide-33
Pyrazinamide Adverse Effects
• Hepatotoxicity / hepatitis – modest rises in
transaminases; Slow hepatic/transaminase
recovery is clue to PZA toxicity
• Hyperuricemia – gout is rare (but is often board
question)
• Arthralgias - particularly of shoulders
• Other: GI upset, rash, glucose dysregulation
©2013 MFMER | slide-34
Approach to Hepatitis
• INH, RIF, & PZA can cause drug-induced liver
injury (ALT > 3x upper limit normal +
symptoms or ALT > 5x ULN without
symptoms)
• Asymptomatic increase in AST occurs in ~20%
treated with standard 4-drug regimen
• In absence of symptoms, therapy should not
be altered for modest elevations of AST
• Frequency of lab monitoring should be increased
• In most cases, asymptomatic AST elevations resolve
spontaneously
©2013 MFMER | slide-35
Approach to Hepatitis
• If drug induced liver injury (AST >3x +
symptoms or >5x without symptoms) then stop
hepatotoxic drugs
• Evaluate for other causes than drugs (viral
hepatitis, etc)
• Suspect medications should be restarted one by
one after AST is <2x ULN
• Restart RIF (+EMB) first, if no rise in ALT after 1
week,
• Restart INH, if no rise in ALT after 1 week,
• If RIF and INH are tolerated & hepatitis was severe,
do not restart PZA
©2013 MFMER | slide-36
Sputum Culture Monitoring During
Pulmonary TB Treatment
• Serial sputum smears every 2 weeks to assess
early response
• Monthly sputum for AFB smear and culture
(until 2 consecutive cultures negative)
• Repeat drug-susceptibility tests if culturepositive after 3 months of treatment
ATS; CDC; IDSA. Treatment of Tuberculosis. MMWR 2003;52(RR-11):1-77.
©2013 MFMER | slide-37
Clinical Monitoring During Pulmonary TB
Treatment
• Periodic (minimum monthly) evaluation to review
adherence and identify adverse reactions
• Repeat chest x-ray:
• After 2 months treatment for patients with
negative cultures
• As clinically indicated for worsening
• At end of treatment
©2013 MFMER | slide-38
Diagnostic Monitoring During Pulmonary
TB Treatment
• Liver enzymes at baseline; HIV testing at
baseline; hepatitis testing if indicated; monthly
liver enzymes if indicated
• Renal function and CBC if abnormalities at
baseline
• Visual acuity and color vision at baseline if EMB
used and monthly
• If EMB used > 2 months or
• EMB dose > 15-20 mg/kg or
• EMB with renal failure
©2013 MFMER | slide-39
TB Treatment in Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
• INH considered safe in pregnancy/breastfeeding
• Risk of hepatitis increased in peripartum period
• Pyridoxine (25 mg/day) recommended if INH is administered
during pregnancy, administer to infant if breastfeeding
• RIF & EMB considered safe in pregnancy &
breastfeeding
• PZA - little information in pregnancy, generally
avoided in US
• Safe for breastfeeding
• Benefits of PZA may outweigh the risk (drug resistant cases)
• WHO & IUATLD recommend this drug for use in pregnant
women with tuberculosis
©2013 MFMER | slide-40
Key Points: TB Drug Adverse Effects
• INH, RIF, & PZA can cause drug-induced liver
injury
• ALT > 3x upper limit normal + symptoms or ALT > 5x without
symptoms
• Stop medications if this occurs until liver enzymes are <2x
upper limit of normal
• EMB can cause optic neuritis
• Monitor visual acuity & color vision
• Pyridoxine is given with INH to prevent
peripheral neuropathy
• PZA may exacerbate gout; generally avoid in
pregnancy
