1 Global trends in tuberculosis and Importance of LTBI strategies Jean-Pierre Zellweger Swiss Lung Association
2 Conflicts of interest I am a retired clinician, former chief of the TB clinic at the University hospital of Lausanne, now working as a part-time consultant for a Swiss NGO (Swiss lung Association) in charge of contact investigations for TB, DOT and TB information in Switzerland I have no conflict of interest in relation with this presentation

8 Natural history of tuberculosis TB Concentration of M.tbc Duration of exposure + + Immune deficiency Young age Recent infection exposure 25-50% Latent infection 5-10% noeexiosure (LTBI) - - TB No infection Ventilation UV Respiratory protection Preventive treatment Ancient infection Immune defenses
9 Immunological events after M. tb infection Mack U, Eur Respir J 2009;33:956-73
10 Some basic principles The development of TB takes place in a minority of infected persons, usually within 2 years after infection Treating all persons with latent infection could in theory eradicate TB by exhausting the pool of future reactivation As only a minority of infected persons will develop TB, and preventive treatment is not easy, it is necessary to select the infected persons at highest risk of reactivation
11 TB elimination: old and new principles Early detection and adequate treatment of patients with active TB remains the key activity for the control of transmission within the local population Detection of persons with latent infection (LTBI) and preventive treatment of infected persons can contribute to the control of TB in a population
12 TB elimination: old and new principles Screening for LTBI must target the groups with the highest likelihood of infection: Contact of contagious TB Persons originating from high-incidence regions Preventive treatment must be offered in priority to the infected persons with the highest risk of reactivation: Immunodepressed persons Recent contacts Children
13 How frequent is LTBI? The old wisdom «One third of the world population is infected with M.tb» (WHO) is based on evaluations with tuberculin skin tests The available estimates (based on IGRAs) vary: 0.6% in young healthy adults born in US 1 8% in elderly adults in UK % in rural China % among TB contacts 4 49% in exposed health care workers in Russia 5 1 Mazurek, CID 2007;45:826 2 Hinks, BMC Inf Dis 2012;12:339 3 Gao, Lancet Inf Dis 2015;15:310 4 Zellweger, AJRCCM 2015;191: DOI.1164/rccm OC 5 Drobniewski, PLoS Medicine, 2007;4(2)e55

16 Key steps in the management of LTBI
17 Screening for LTBI: current position of WHO for countries with limited income and/or high incidence of TB Preventive therapy should be offered to people living with HIV and children <5 years in close contact with TB (after exclusion of active TB). Prior testing optional
18 Screening for LTBI: current position of WHO for high-income countries with low incidence of TB Systematic screening and preventive treatment recommended for : People living with HIV or under anti-tnf Recent contacts of pulmonary TB Immunodeficiency from other origin (organ transplantation, renal dialysis, silicosis) Screening and treatment of LTBI is optional for: Health-care workers exposed to TB Migrants from high-incidence countries Prisoners, homeless persons, users of illicit drugs Active TB has to be excluded before initiation of a preventive treatment

55 LTBI in migrants The majority of TB cases notified in western countries are observed among foreign-born Screening at the border detects the currently active cases Most of the TB cases are notified AFTER the entry in the country, by reactivation from prior infection Would screening for LTBI and provision of preventive treatment decrease the risk of later reactivation?

60 Risk of LTBI by travel conditions (400 migrants)
61 Cost-effectiveness of screening migrants for LTBI Screening migrants for LTBI is cost-effective if They come from a high-incidence country They are young A preventive treatment is offered and followed IGRA is the most cost-effective screening method Ref: Zammarchi L et al, BMC health service research 2015;15:412

74 Some further problems Preventive treatment of contacts of MDR-TB Is possible and cost-effective, at least in contacts of MDR-TB cases who retained quinolone sensitivity
75 Preventive treatment of MDR-TB contacts Bamrah,S., IJTLD 2014;18(8):912-8
76 Conclusions Screening for LTBI in groups with high rate of infection and preventive treatment may contribute to the control of TB TB in industrialized countries is mainly observed among foreign-born migrants Screening migrants for active disease detects a minority of (active) cases The majority of cases of TB in migrants are detected after entry by reactivation from LTBI Screening for LTBI and provision of a preventive treatment may decrease the number of future cases Prescription of preventive treatment is difficult, but not impossible (the shorter the better!)
77 Thank you and open the eye
78
79 The challenge Who is at risk of infection (in case of contact)? Who is at risk of TB (if infected)? How to detect persons with an increased risk of developing TB after infection? How to prevent the development of future TB (without treating unnecessarily those who have no risk)?
