Diagnosis and Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection due to Initiation of Anti-TNF Therapy
심태선 대한결핵및호흡기학회 2014 Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases Vol.76 No.6
Patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are increasingly being treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents and are at increased risk of developing tuberculosis (TB). Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) is recommended in these patients due to the initiation of anti-TNF therapy. Traditionally, LTBI has been diagnosed on the basis of clinical factors and a tuberculin skin test. Recently, interferon-gamma releasing assays (IGRAs) that can detect TB infection have become available. Considering the high-risk of developing TB in patients on anti-TNF therapy, the use of both a tuberculin skin test and an IGRA should be considered to detect and treat LTBI in patients with IMIDs. The traditional LTBI treatment regimen consisted of isoniazid monotherapy for 9 months. However, shorter regimens such as 4 months of rifampicin or 3 months of isoniazid/rifampicin are increasingly being used to improve treatment completion rates. In this review, the screening methods for diagnosing latent and active TB before anti-TNF therapy in patients with IMIDs will be briefly described, as well as the current LTBI treatment regimens, the recommendations for managing TB that develops during anti-TNF therapy, the necessity of regular monitoring to detect new TB infection, and the re-initiation of anti-TNF therapy in patients who develop TB.
Medical Treatment of Pulmonary Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis
심태선,조경욱 대한감염학회 2013 Infection and Chemotherapy Vol.45 No.4
Treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is challenging because of the high toxicity of second-line drugs and thelonger treatment duration required compared with drug-susceptible TB. The efficacy of treatment for MDR-TB is poorer thanthat for drug-susceptible TB. The selection of drugs in MDR-TB is based on previous treatment history, drug susceptibility results,and TB drug resistance patterns in the each region. Recent World Health Organization guidelines recommend the use of least 4second-line drugs (a newer fluoroquinolone, an injectable agent, prothionamide, and cycloserine or para-aminosalicylic acid)in addition to pyrazinamide. The kanamycin is the initial choice of injectable durgs, and newer fluoroquinolones include levofloxacinand moxifloxacin. For MDR-TB, especially cases that are extensively drug-resistant, group 5 drugs such as linezolid,clofazimine, and amoxicillin/clavulanate need to be included. New agents with novel mechanisms of action that can be givenfor shorter durations (9-12 months) for MDR-TB are under investigation.

Patients with intractable inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are increasingly being treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents and are at increased risk of developing tuberculosis (TB). Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) is recommended in patients due to the initiation of anti-TNF therapy. Traditionally, LTBI has been diagnosed on the basis of clinical factors and a tuberculin skin test. Recently, interferon-gamma releasing assays (IGRAs) that can detect TB infection have become available. Considering the high-risk of developing TB in patients on anti-TNF therapy, the use of both a tuberculin skin test and an IGRA should be considered to detect and treat LTBI in patients with IBD due to the initiation of anti-TNF therapy. The traditional LTBI treatment regimen has consisted of isoniazid monotherapy for 9 months. However, shorter regimens such as 4 months of rifampicin or 3 months of isoniazid/rifampicin have been used increasingly to improve treatment completion rates. In this review, the incidence of TB and the prevalence of LTBI in patients with IBD will be briefly described, as well as methods for diagnosing latent and active TB before anti-TNF therapy, current LTBI treatment regimens, recommendations for managing TB that develops during anti-TNF therapy, the necessity of regular monitoring to detect new TB infection, and the re-initiation of anti-TNF therapy in patients who develop TB.

서론 : 결핵성 흉막염은 치료후에도 약 50% 정도에서 흉막비후가 발생한다. 일부 연구에서 흉막액내 TNF-$\alpha$의 증가 및 섬유소융해의 장애등이 흉막비후의 원인으로 제시되었지만, 아직 흉막비후의 발생기전 또는 예측인자에 대하여는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. TGF-$\beta$는 섬유화를 촉진시키며 결핵성 흉막액에서 증가되어 있음이 보고되었다. 한편 결핵성 흉막염 및 악성 흉막염은 림프구 우세성 삼출액 소견을 나타내는 질환으로 감별진단이 중요하다. 본 연구자는 결핵성 흉막염과 악성 흉막염 환자를 대상으로 TNF-$\alpha$, TGF-$\beta$ 그리고 섬유소 융해계 인자들을 측정하여 양 군간에 비교하였고, 결핵성 흉막염에서 치료 후 흉막비후 발생의 예측인자를 찾고자하였다. 방법 : 1997년 2월부터 1999년 8월까지 서울중앙병원에서 결핵성 흉막염과 악성 흉막염으로 진단받고, 흉막액 검체가 보관되었던 각각 35명과 14명을 대상으로 하였다. 결핵성 흉막염은 모두 4제병용 1차 항결핵 치료를 시행하였다. 각 군에서 임상상을 비교하였고, 흉막액에서 일반 흉막액 검사를 시행하고, TNF-$\alpha$, TGF-$\beta$1, tPA, PAI-1, plasminogen, $\alpha$2-antiplasmin, 그리고 D-dimer를 측정하였다. 결핵성 흉막염 환자 중에서 치료를 종료한 30명을 대상으로 흉막비후가 2mm 미만인 군과 2mm 이상인 군으로 나누어 양 군간에 흉막액 검사소견 및 임상상을 비교하였다. 결과 : 결핵성 흉막염 환자에서 TNF-$\alpha$ tPA, PAI-1, plasminogen, $\alpha$2-antiplasmin, 그리고 D-dimer 모두 말초혈액보다 흉막액에서 증가되어 있었고, 악성 흉막액 환자에서는 plasminogen, $\alpha$2-antiplasmin, 그리고 D-dimer가 말초혈액보다 흉막액에서 증가되어 있었다. TNF-$\alpha$, TGF-$\beta$, PAI-1, plasminogen, 그리고 $\alpha$2-antiplasmin 는 악성 흉막액 보다 결핵성 흉막액에서 유의하게 증가되어 있었다. 항결핵치료 종료 후 2mm 이상의 흉막비후가 발생한 군과 발생하지 않은 군 사이에 TNF-$\alpha$, TGF-$\beta$ 그리고 섬유소융해계의 측정치들간의 차이는 발견할 수 없었다. 결론 : 결핵성 흉막염 환자의 흉막액 TNF-$\alpha$ TGF-$\beta$ 및 섬유소융해계가 흉막비후에 관여할 것으로 추측되었으나, 흉막비후 발생의 예측인자는 찾지 못하였다. 또한 양 질환의 감별에도 기존의 검사들에 비하여 추가적 유용성은 없었다. Background : Residual pleural thickening (RPT) develops in about 50% of tuberculous pleurisy ($PL_{TB}$). Some reports have suggested that elevated TNF-$\alpha$ and impaired fibrinolysis could be the cause of RPT, but until now, the mechanism and predictors of RPT have not been well known. TGF-$\beta$ has been known to promote fibrogenesis and is increased in tuberculous pleural fluid (PF). $PL_{TB}$ and malignant pleurisy ($PL_{MAL}$) manifest lymphocyte-dominant exudative pleural effusion, and it has clinical implications in the differentiation of the two diseases based on the findings of pleural effusion. We performed this study to compare pleural fluid TNF-$\alpha$ TGF-$\beta$, and fibrinolytic parameters between $PL_{TB}$ and $PL_{MAL}$, and to find the predictors of RPT in $PL_{TB}$. Methods : Thirty-five $PL_{TB}$ and 14 $PL_{MAL}$ patients who were admitted to the Asan Medical Center from February 1997 to August 1999 were enrolled. All $PL_{TB}$ patients were prescribed a primary, short-course, anti-tuberculosis regimen. INF-$\alpha$ tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), plasminogen, $\alpha$2-antiplasmin, and D-dimer were measured in both PF and PB. TGF-$\beta$was measured only in PF. Clinical characteristics, TNF-$\alpha$ TGF-$\beta$ and fibrinolytic parameters were compared between patients with RPT less than 2 mm and patients with more than 2 mm of the thirty patients who completed the anti-tuberculosis treatment. Results : The levels of TNF-$\alpha$ tPA, PAI-1, plasminogen, $\alpha$2-antiplasmin, and D-dimer in PF were higher than those in peripheral blood (PB) in $PL_{TB}$, whereas only plasminogen, $\alpha$2-antiplasmin, and D-dimer were higher in PF than in PB in $PL_{MAL}$. Pleural fluid TNF-$\alpha$ TGF-$\beta$, PAI-1, plasminogen, $\alpha$2-antiplasmin were increased in $PL_{TB}$ compared with $PL_{MAL}$, but these factors did not show any further advantages over ADA in differentiation between $PL_{TB}$ and $PL_{MAL}$. TNF-$\alpha$ TGF-$\beta$ and fibrinolytic parameters did not show any differences between patients with RPT less than 2 mm and patients with RPT more than 2 mm. Conclusion : Our data suggest that TNF-$\alpha$, TGF-$\beta$ and fibrinolytic parameters may play some role for the development of RPT in $PL_{TB}$, but they failed to predict the occurrence of RPT in $PL_{TB}$. Also these parameters did not seem to have any advantages over ADA in differentiating between two diseases.
