MDR- and XDR-TB:prevention, treatment and control
J-P Zellweger
ERS/TB PAN NET ToT, Barcelona 2010
3
Objectives• To familiarise with the new documents available on
MDR- and XDR-TB management and with the specific components of the Stop TB Strategy
• To analyse the main findings on drug resistance trends, improvement of laboratory services and treatment delivery process, and the actions undertaken to tackle MDR- and XDR- TB
• To identify priorities and proposed solutions to further prevent the emergence of drug resistance and improve the management of MDR- and XDR- TB

DOTS MDR-TB
FUNDING: Government Commitment (10$/ case)
> money
Up to 20,000 $/ caseDIAGNOSIS: SS microscopy, QA and safety measures
+C, DST, SRL, QA, infection control
TREATMENT: SCC,DOT, 6-8 months, no hospitalization
24 months, mandatory DOT & hospitalization in reference facilities
TB drugs only, no AE relevant toxicity, need special drugs + expertise
TREATMENT MONITORING: SS, standard outcome definitions
C, DST, special outcome definitons
15
Who needs DST?
• Cat I, II failures, chronics• Failure anti-TB TX in the private sector• Contacts of DR-/MDR-TB• HCW at risk, prisoners, homeless, etc.• No SS/C conversion Month 2,3• Residence in very high DR-prevalence settings• Exposure to poor quality drugs• Previous treatment by poor programmes• Co-morbidities favouring rapid transit/ malabsorbtion• HIV+ • If available: for ALL TB patients!

XDR= extensively drug-resistant TB
Definition
Resistance to at least rifampicin and isoniazid, in addition to any fluoroquinolone, and to at least one of the three following injectable drugs used in anti-TB treatment: capreomycin, kanamycin and amikacin.
31
What was known
• Operational definition, proposed without solid evidence
• SRLs’ survey on XDR-TB isolates (“ a posteriori”, no outcomes)
• Anecdotal description of virtually untreatable TB patients
32
What was not known on XDR?
• Is the risk of death/ probability of success different from that of MDR?
• Are their clinical characteristics different? in HIV-negative patients?
• Is their infectiousness different?• Has the XDR definition a clinical relevance?
Which is the role of susceptibility to first-line drugs different from HR?
33
ERS and TBNET studies contributed to answer
• Time to SS and C conversion double than MDR-TB• Risk of death 5.5 times higher• Higher failure and default rates than MDR-TB• Lower success rate than MDR-TB• High proportion of adverse events due to 2°-line TB
drugs• XDR-TB definition has both clinical and operational
significance

Global Policy: MDR-TB and XDR-TB
1. Strengthen basic TB control, to prevent M/XDR-TB2. Scale-up programmatic management and care of
MDR-TB and XDR-TB 3. Strengthen laboratory services for adequate and
timely diagnosis of MDR-TB and XDR-TB4. Ensure availability of quality drugs and their
rational use5. Expand MDR-TB and XDR-TB surveillance 6. Introduce infection control, especially in high HIV
prevalence settings7. Mobilize urgently resources domestically and
internationally8. Promote research and development into new
diagnostics, drugs and vaccines
Conclusions• MDR/XDTR-TB is one of the major threats for
the future control of TB
• MDR/XDR-TB is basically a man-made problem
• The main issues are:– Stopping the source: control of all ERRORS which
sustain the creation of new cases– Accessing second-line drugs– Managing medical, human and economical
problems associated with the treatment
