Contact Evaluation Your name Institution/organization Meeting Date International Standards 18, 19 Contact Evaluation Objectives: At the end of this presentation participants will be able to: Describe how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) is transmitted Evaluate the risk of transmission based on the clinical extent of disease and diagnostic tests Identify and evaluate contacts who are at increased risk for acquisition of infection Determine who among contacts is at greatest risk should infection occur Make decisions concerning the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Contact Evaluation Overview: Value (yield) of contact evaluation Transmission of M.tb Clinical factors influencing transmission Evaluating contacts and determining priorities Vulnerable contacts Treatment of infected contacts International Standards 18, 19 ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Standard 18: Contact Evaluation (1 of 2) All providers of care for patients with TB should ensure that persons who are in close contact with patients who have infectious TB are evaluated and managed in line with international recommendations. The determination of priorities for contact investigation is based on the likelihood that a contact: 1) Has undiagnosed TB 2) Is at high risk of developing TB if infected 3) Is at risk of having severe TB if the disease develops 4) Is at high risk of having been infected by the index case. ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Standard 18: Contact Evaluation (2 of 2) The highest priority contacts for evaluation are: Persons with symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis Children aged <5 years Contacts with known or suspected immunocompromise, particularly HIV infection Contacts of patients with MDR/XDR tuberculosis Other close contacts are a lower priority group ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Standards for Public Health ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Yield of Contact Evaluations: All Active TB On average, 4.4 household contacts were investigated per index case 4.5% of evaluated household contacts will have active TB Therefore, investigation of approximately 5 households yields one active TB case pooled estimate % of Contacts with Active TB (with or without positive bacteriology): Systematic Review.

Minimal evaluation: Question contacts about symptoms and evaluate if symptoms are present Tuberculin skin test followed by chest radiographs for all positives (either > 5 mm or > 10mm, depending on local policies) Chest radiographs for all children < 5 years of age Sputum examinations for all symptomatic contacts and all with radiographic abnormalities ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Isoniazid Preventive Therapy: Rationale Risk of active tuberculosis is greatest soon after infection occurs Contacts of infectious cases are likely to have been infected recently Treatment of those found to have a positive tuberculin skin test will reduce the likelihood of active tuberculosis ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Isoniazid Preventive Therapy: Evaluation Evaluate all potential LTBI treatment candidates for active TB Identify those who have been treated previously Identify those with contraindications to treatment for LTBI (prior allergic reactions, severe unstable liver disease) Identify co-morbid conditions and other medications being used ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Isoniazid Preventive Therapy: Priorities Children < 5 years of age Persons with HIV infection Persons with other immunocompromising conditions Close contacts of highly infectious index case Persons with other conditions that increase risk (example: silicosis) ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 ISTC Standard 19: IPT Children <5 years of age and persons of any age with HIV infection who are close contacts of an infectious index patient and who, after careful evaluation, do not have active tuberculosis, should be treated for presumed latent tuberculosis infection with isoniazid ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Contact Evaluation Summary: Between 4 and 5 % of household contacts of new cases will be found to have active TB and 50% will have LTBI The likelihood of transmission relates directly to the bacillary burden of the index case Environmental factors also play an important role ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Contact Evaluation Summary (continued): Priorities for evaluation include children < 5 years of age, persons with HIV infection, contacts of MDR/XDR cases, and highly exposed contacts Treatment of LTBI may be indicated for high priority contacts ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Summary: ISTC Standards Covered* Standard 18: All providers of care for patients with TB should ensure that persons (especially if symptoms suggestive of TB, children under 5 years of age, persons with HIV infection, and contacts to MDR/XDR) who are in close contact with patients who have infectious TB are evaluated and managed in line with international recommendations. The determination of priorities for contact investigation is based on the likelihood that a contact: 1) has undiagnosed TB; 2) is at high risk of developing TB if infected; 3) is at risk of having severe TB if the disease develops; and 4) is at high risk of having been infected by the index case. *Abbreviated version ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Summary: ISTC Standards Covered Standard 19: Children < 5 years of age and persons of any age with HIV infection who are close contacts of an infectious index patient and who, after careful evaluation, do not have active tuberculosis, should be treated for presumed latent tuberculosis infection with isoniazid ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Alternate Slides ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Purpose of ISTC ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 ISTC: Key Points 21 Standards (revised/renumbered in 2009) Differ from existing guidelines: standards present what should be done, whereas, guidelines describe how the action is to be accomplished Evidence-based, living document Developed in tandem with Patients’ Charter for Tuberculosis Care Handbook for using the International Standards for Tuberculosis Care ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 ISTC: Key Points Audience: all health care practitioners, public and private Scope: diagnosis, treatment, and public health responsibilities; intended to complement local and national guidelines Rationale: sound tuberculosis control requires the effective engagement of all providers in providing high quality care and in collaborating with TB control programs ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Questions ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Contact Evaluation 1. A 23 year-old school teacher has recently been diagnosed with active pulmonary TB. She is concerned about the risk of transmitting disease to the children she teaches in a small, poorlyventilated classroom. Aspects of her clinical presentation that would suggest a higher degree of infectious risk include all of the following except: A. Sputum smear positive for M. tuberculosis B. Significant cough symptoms C. Cavitary-disease on chest film D. Extrapulmonary cervical lymphadenitis ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Contact Evaluation 2. A 42 year-old man has been diagnosed with smear-positive pulmonary TB. He works five days per week as an accountant in a small office with two other co-workers and lives in an apartment building with his wife and son. Other activities include a 2-hour weekly football game with his teammates outdoors. (Continued) ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Contact Evaluation 2. (Cont.) In regards to planning a contact evaluation for this case, lowest priority for assessment would be: A. Assessment of the clinical factors that influence infectious risk, such as the presence and duration of cough symptoms B. Gathering information regarding age, health status (especially risk for HIV), and presence of TB symptoms in any close contacts C. Evaluation of his outdoor football teammates as contacts D. Evaluation of the size and ventilation of the office space, and the amount of contact time between coworkers and the patient ISTC TB Training Modules 2009 Contact Evaluation 3. Contacts to an infectious pulmonary case of TB found to have latent TB infection (LTBI) who have the highest risks for progression to active TB disease once infected include: A. Children <5 years of age B. Spouses due to the extended duration of exposure C. Persons with HIV infection D. Both A and C ISTC TB Training Modules 2009
