Why is TB Infection Control
Important
� High burden of undiagnosed TB in health care settings and other
congregate settings
� Prevalence of undiagnosed PTB in VCT/ART clinics 8-27%
� (Mohammed et al. Int J Tuberc Lung Dis. 2004; 8(6):792-5, Edwards et al. 16th
Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections. Montreal; 2009,
� Prevalence of undiagnosed PTB in mines
� Day et al. IJTLD. 2006;10:523-9, Corbett et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med
2004;170:673-79)
� High rates of TB infection and disease in HCWs demonstrated in
studies implicating nosocomial transmission
The problem
The problem
Guidelines and recommendations:
International guidelines to reduce TB transmission in resource-limited settings are available
Evidence of the efficacy of TBIC interventions
� It not possible to measure infectiousness of TB or MDR-TB directly, nor can the efficacy of environmental infection control interventions to reduce or prevent transmission be measured directly.
� Lack of evidence on efficacy of most interventions is due to:
� inability to culture Mtb from air under real life conditions
� Molecular amplification methods
� detect nucleic acid from tubercle bacilli in the air, but cannot distinguish living from dead organisms
� nor quantify those with infectious potential.
Evidence of the efficacy of TBIC interventions
� IPC guided by research, studies and evidence-based practices developed to facilitate safe and effective clinical interventions
� Easy to use, reliable, and evidence based strategies appropriate for resource-limited, high TB-HIV prevalence settings are needed
Hierarchy of TB-IC
Prevention of nosocomial
transmission in Russia
• Separation of TB patients according to sputum smear status, drug resistance and treatment regimen •
• Upper Room UVGI fixtures in high and medium risk areas
• Mechanical ventilation designed, installed, commissioned and maintained
• Personal respiratory protection program
• Laboratory biosafety program

MDR and XDR TB) in
congregate settings within the
context of dual TB and HIV
epidemics.

� Mechanically ventilated negativepressure rooms - 12 ACH
� Calculated risk of TB transmissiono 39% in mechanically ventilated –vepr roomso 33% in naturally ventilated modernroomso 11% in naturally ventilated pre-1950’s rooms

2.3-fold (95% CI, 1.5–3.4; P , 0.0005) lower risk among guinea pigs exposed to air exhausted from the ward whenpatients wore face masks.
*56% (95% CI, 33–71%) risk reduction in transmission
While the evidence-base has grown, there are several challenges...
� Lack of expertise and experience in ventilation design, construction, commissioning and maintenance
� Practical implementation and application
� Long term hospitalization with poor isolation tradition; neglect of administrative infection control principles is quite common
� Investments for TB control often lack prioritization
� Sustainability of IC interventions
� Critical gaps related to knowledge and skills in TB IC among HCW
� Enforcement of community supported treatment and management of patients
Summary
� Health care workers are at risk for contracting TB and need much higher levels of protection than they currently receive.
� Experiments have demonstrated that MDR TB transmission can be interrupted through implementation of existing transmission control strategies and technology.
� Experiments have demonstrated that standardized treatment of patients for MDR-TB rapidly suppresses MDR-TB transmission.
