Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Pathogenesis Organism factors e.g. – Virulence factors – [Drug resistance] Dpt. Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Pathogenesis MTB into lungs (or to cervical nodes or abdo. nodes) Replication of organisms Primary complex (lung and mediastinal lymph nodes) Mycobacteraemia with potential for ‘seeding’ Consequence of tuberculous infection – Symptomatic illness – disease (minority) – immunological control (majority) with Ghon focus on Xray. Infection is ‘contained’ by granuloma but not eliminated Dpt. Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Pathogenesis Tuberculous disease is a consequence of: – Primary infection e.g. in baby – Reactivation ‘natural’ Associated with immunosupression – Re infection Dpt. Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Clinical features Clinical illness – Pulmonary – Extrapulmonary Dpt.

Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals TB – guidelines for the clinician Great mimicker Low index of suspicion Pulmonary TB usually easy to consider Non pulmonary often requires ‘lateral thinking’ Dpt. Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Clinical TB Laboratory samples – In the current era every effort must be made to obtain adequate samples likely to lead to a microbiological diagnosis before treatment is started (sometimes difficult with surgical specimens!) Dpt. Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals What can the laboratory do to help the clinician? Awareness of TB e.g. in the patient with recurrent sputum samples for ‘chronic bronchitis’ ‘Rapid’ diagnosis of infection and resistance – Culture and sensitivities – the clinician wants answers immediately if possible – PCR – further opportunities for development – Gamma interferon based tests?? – other Dpt. Infection and Tropical Medicine, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals What samples? Depends on clinical scenario Chest – – – – – Sputum – if productive Induced sputum Bronchoscopic alveolar lavage (BAL) Pleural biopsy Pleural fluid Other – E.g.
