Low TB transmission settings most TB disease arises from latent infection treatment of latent TB is central to TB elimination INH x 9 months is long, completion rates are poor shorter regimens preferable if effective, safe

41
Why is IPT not durable in southern Africa? ? High rates of TB reinfection – very difficult to measure – consistent with molecular epidemiology data from mines and elsewhere in southern Africa
42
Why is IPT not durable in southern Africa? ? high rate of reinfection – would explain why RH/RpH no better than IPT in Soweto

Why is IPT not durable in southern Africa? ? but if most TB in HIV+ is reinfection, why does TB incidence remain low among those TST neg at enrolment? Samandari Lancet 2011; 377:1588

47
If reinfection, priority is to reduce transmission – find and treat people with infectious TB – (which we need to do anyway) If lack of cure with IPT alone, need better "preventive" regimens – particularly where TB transmission is low – shorter regimens operationally much easier to implement probably a bit of both either way, data support continuous IPT for HIV+ Implications of limited IPT durability

Thibela TB Community-wide IPT did not improve TB control in South African gold mines What will it take? HostelsMine shaft Cluster
54
TB prevention in gold mines: what will it take? a) IPT for 9 months b) continuous IPT c) ART d) reducing treatment delay e) more sensitive diagnostics f) none of the above g) all of the above
55
Number of cases/100,000/year (true incidence) Reduce treatment delay Maximise ART coverage Better diagnostics Better preventive therapy Thibela TB modelling: need combination TB prevention Vynnycky, Sumner, Cox, White SA TB conference
56
Know your TB epidemic, know your TB response Conclusions
57
Low transmission settings Rifapentine / INH: simpler, shorter – awaiting data on effectiveness for HIV positive people
58
High TB transmission settings IPT has limited durability in Southern Africa continuous IPT for HIV+ people Combination TB prevention earlier treatment via better diagnostics improving systems to minimise treatment delay maximising ART coverage optimising TB preventive therapy
