In the U.S., there was a resurgence of TB from 1985 to 1992. The number of cases increased 20% during this time period, peaking in 1992 with 26,673 cases reported. The increased case numbers were attributed to the HIV epidemic, decreased funding for public health, immigration from countries where TB is endemic, and transmission of TB in congregate settings such as hospitals, correctional institutions, and homeless shelters.

The average lifetime risk of developing active TB following TB infection, if no treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) is received, is approximately 5%. The greatest risk of progression to active TB disease is within the first two years following infection with M. tuberculosis. UNAIDS estimates that persons infected with both M. tuberculosis and HIV are 30 to 50 times more likely to develop active TB disease than those infected with M. tuberculosis but who do not have HIV infection. The risk of progression to active TB disease among people living with untreated HIV who have LTBI is up to 10% per year. +

Drug-resistant TB is a major challenge to global TB prevention and control efforts and historically associated with a higher morbidity and mortality compared to drug-susceptible disease. Multidrug (MDR) TB is defined as resistance to at least isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (RIF). Extensively drug resistant (XDR)-TB is defined as MDR-TB plus resistance to a fluoroquinolone (FQN) drug and either bedaquiline or levofloxacin. There have been significant improvements (more potent regimens given over shorter periods of time) in the past several years for the treatment of highly drug resistant TB include use of the BPaL (bedaquiline, protamanid, levofloxacin) and BPaLM (BPaL plus moxifloxacin) regimens which require 6-9 months of therapy. +

Rifampin is also preferred by many clinicians and public health clinics because of the shorter duration of therapy compared to INH and because rifampin has less hepatotoxicity compared to INH for the treatment of LTBI. - - Rifampin for 4 months has been shown to be noninferior to 9 months of INH for the treatment of LTBI in a randomized controlled trial.

Rifampin has a large number of drug -drug interactions (as discussed on page 78) - including warfarin, oral contraceptives, azole antifungals, and HIV antiretroviral therapy. Other medications that a person with LTBI is taking is an important consideration when determining whether rifampin or other LTBI regimens which include rifampin or other rifamycins can be prescribed.

However, based on further studies and updated data, CDC revised guidelines for the use of 3HP in 2018 expanded the patient populations for which this regimen could be used and included an option for self-administration of the 3HP regimen. CDC recommendations for 3HP in the treatment of LTBI include:

    -
      -
    • use of 3HP in adults and persons aged 2–17 years with - LTBI; -
      • -
    • use of 3HP in persons who are living with HIV with - LTBI including those with AIDS and taking antiretroviral medications with acceptable drug-drug - interactions with rifapentine* [the 2021 DHHS guidelines on treatment of HIV among adults and - adolescents indicate that rifapentine as part of a 3HP regimen is acceptable to use among persons - living with HIV on and ART regimen that includes once daily dolutegravir]; and -
      • -
    • - use of 3HP by directly observed therapy (DOT) or self-administered - therapy (SAT) in persons aged ≥ 2 - years. Per CDC recommendations, “the health care - provider should choose the mode of administration - (DOT versus SAT) based on local practice, individual - patient attributes and preferences, and other considerations, including risk for progression to - severe - forms of TB disease” (MMWR 2018; 67:723-72). - -
      • -
    -

    - The 3HP is regimen is NOT recommended for pregnant women, children < 2 years old, persons living with HIV who are on antiretroviral - drugs that have significant drug-drug interactions with rifapentine, or patients infected with suspected INH-resistant, - rifampin-resistant, or multidrug resistant (MDR) isolates. Other potential challenges in using the 3HP regimen in addition to - the drug-drug interactions due to rifapentine (similar to those seen with other rifamycin drugs such as rifampin) include cost of - medications that are greater than most alternatives; the need to take numerous pills simultaneously (10 pills once weekly - compared with two or three pills daily for other regimens for most adults); and the association with a systemic drug - reaction or influenza-like syndrome that can include syncope and hypotension (although the risk of hospitalization is low, 0.1% in published studies). -

    NOTES: Table 20 Special Situations

    - -

    (1) As with all medications given during pregnancy, anti-TB drugs should be used with caution. The risk of TB to - the fetus far outweighs the risk of medications. Pregnant patients with active TB should be treated. Data are limited - on the safety of some anti-TB drugs during pregnancy. Table 20 presents a consensus of published data and recommendations. - Although detailed teratogenic data is not available, PZA can probably be used safely for pregnant patients. Concentrations - of anti-TB drugs in breast milk are low; treatment with these medications is not a contraindication to breastfeeding. - Conversely, medication present in breast milk is not sufficient to prevent or treat TB in the newborn. Consult a - medical expert when treating a pregnant patient who has TB. For treatment of LTBI, most authorities recommend beginning - INH 3 months after delivery (as discussed in the text), unless the woman is at high risk for progression to active TB (e.g., - recent infection as evidenced by being a close contact of an infectious TB case, recent TST or IGRA conversion, HIV-infected with CD4<350).

    -

    (2) Steroid treatment appears to improve outcome in TB meningitis, particularly in patients with altered mental - status.

    -

    (3) If possible, monitor serum drug levels of patients with renal insufficiency. See page 71 for dosage.

    -

    (4) Supplement with pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) during pregnancy.

    -

    (5) Has been used intrathecally; efficacy not documented.

    -

    (6) Avoid aminoglycosides and capreomycin in patients with reversible renal damage, if possible.

    VIII. Tuberculosis and Long-Term Care Facilities

    Last Updated June 2024

    -

    - TB remains a problem in older individuals who may have been infected many years ago and did not develop active - disease at the time. Also, there is increasing documentation of outbreaks of TB occurring in nursing home - residents when a patient with TB disease infects a population of older people who are newly exposed to that - case.

    -

    - TB control in nursing homes and long-term care facilities must begin with a careful assessment of TB status upon - admission, including a diagnostic test for LTBI (TST or IGRA). For those with a positive diagnostic test for - LTBI, an assessment and chest x-ray should be performed as described above to exclude active TB disease.

    -

    - Since people over 50 years old may have diminished skin test reactivity, the two-step technique (see Two-Step Testing) of - tuberculin skin testing is recommended upon admission to the nursing home if the TST is the diagnostic test - being performed to screen for LTBI. A “booster effect” with the TST has been noted in elderly persons in whom - the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction to tuberculin may have waned over the years. In these - situations, an initial tuberculin skin test may demonstrate a negative reaction, but it boosts the immune system - so that subsequent tuberculin skin tests may be increased in size and may be interpreted as positive. This - “boosted” response is considered as the valid baseline for the individual and thought to represent latent TB - infection (after active disease is excluded).

    -

    - Residents of nursing homes or long-term care facilities whose baseline two-step skin tests are negative (or - whose baseline IGRA is negative if the IGRA is being used to screen for LTBI) on admission should have repeat - testing performed when an exposure to a case of potentially infectious TB has occurred.

    -
      -
    • Any person who converts a TST or IGRA from negative to positive should be considered for - treatment of LTBI after active TB is ruled out (by chest x-ray at a minimum and sputum specimen if - indicated). -
      • -
    • Any resident with symptoms of TB regardless of TST (or IGRA) results should have a chest x-ray - performed to evaluate for active TB disease. -
      • -
    • Treatment of active TB disease (Class III) is the same as that used for younger adults.
      • -
    -

    - Employees of nursing homes or long-term care facilities should have two-step tuberculin testing when they start - to work in the nursing home if the TST is used for testing of health care workers (if they have not had a TST in - the year prior to initiating employment). The frequency of subsequent testing of healthcare workers is - described on page 102. Employees who are TST (or IGRA) positive at baseline should be evaluated for treatment of - LTBI (see pages 25—27). In addition, those with a recent TST conversion should be strongly encouraged to take - treatment for LTBI after active TB is excluded. Routine annual symptom screening for previously positive TST - employees is recommended instead of an annual CXR.

    BCG is recommended in higher TB incidence areas because it has a documented protective effect against TB meningitis and disseminated TB in young children.

    BCG is not a contraindication to a TST but as noted there can be cross reactions between BCG and the TST. The primary advantage of IGRAs is that they do not cross react with BCG. Interpretation of a tuberculin skin test reaction is not changed for patients who have received BCG.

    + Dear Clinician:
    + + The Georgia TB Reference Guide responds to clinicians’ questions about tuberculosis infection, disease, and prevention and control. The standards and guidelines are based on the work and recommendations of the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), Emory University, and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Guide also provides guidance from the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) TB Program and contact information for District TB Coordinators. This updated edition of the Guide contains updated recommendations on the treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) and treatment of active TB disease and an updated format inspired by users of the Guide app. + +

    +

    + The treatment of a person with TB always requires a clinician to exercise clinical and professional judgment. These guidelines provide a framework for the diagnosis and treatment of persons with TB infection or active TB disease. +

    +

    This is not an exhaustive review of the subjects covered. It is an accessible reference guide which provides guidance for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of TB. Since guidelines for treating, preventing, and controlling TB continue to evolve, it is appropriate for clinicians to check further for new treatment regimens.

    +

    Detailed information is available from:

    +
  • Your county public health department and the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) TB Program (phone: 404-657-2634 or online: https://dph.georgia.gov/health-topics/tuberculosis-tb-prevention-and-control).

    Consider adding IV levofloxacin or moxifloxacin UD in lieu of ethambutol, especially if there is concern for isoniazid-resistant TB.

    +
    CommentsRifampin has poor CNS penetration but is an essential drug for meningeal TB treatment. Isoniazid, + pyrazinamide, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin have excellent CNS penetration. +

    • PI’s have high barrier to resistance. However, given rifabutin is given at half-dose when used with PI’s adherence to ART should be closely monitored. Poor adherence to PI’s while on rifabutin increases risk for rifampin resistance.
      • +
    • The FDA does not recommend using TAF with rifampin or rifabutin.
      • +
    • Cobicistat cannot be used with rifabutin.

    -
    - -
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Concerns RaisedRapidly progressive and often fatal. High plasma levels needed to achieve adequate CNS penetration. - High index of suspicion necessary; microbiological diagnostic tests have low yield.

    - 2-PO or IV2 2 isoniazid UD+
    - 3-PO pyrazinamide UD+
    - 4-PO ethambutol UD (adults) or - PO ethionamide (children) -

    Consider adding IV levofloxacin or moxifloxacin UD in lieu of ethambutol, especially if there is concern for isoniazid-resistant TB.

    CommentsRifampin has poor CNS penetration but is an essential drug for meningeal TB treatment. Isoniazid, - pyrazinamide, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin have excellent CNS penetration. -

    Ethambutol has poor CNS penetration. Early use of fluoroquinolones has been associated with - improved outcomes among patients with isoniazid-resistant meningeal TB

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Concerns RaisedIncreased risk for pyrazinamide-induced hepatotoxicity
    RegimenCan consider rifampin, isoniazid, and ethambutol without pyrazinamide when drug-susceptibility is - known and/or patient has low burden of disease
    Comments3-drug regimens may increase risk of failure or acquired drug-resistance.

    Concerns RaisedConsider limiting number of hepatotoxic drugs for patients with baseline ALT>3x UNL and/or advanced - liver disease. - Order of hepatotoxicity: PZA>INH>RIF
    Regimen1-RIF/INH/EMB +/- FQN 2-RIF/EMB/FQN +/- LZD or AG 3-EMB/FQN +/- LZD or AG
    CommentsConsider baseline liver enzyme elevation could be due to hepatic TB -

    3-drug regimens may increase risk of failure or acquired drug-resistance.

    -
    - -
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Concerns RaisedTB drug-induced hepatotoxicity - Stop TB drugs if ALT>3x UNL and patient symptomatic or ALT >5x UNL regardless of symptoms
    RegimenSequential re-introduction of TB drugs once ALT <2x UNL. - (1) Rifamycin x 5-7 days - (2) Isoniazid x 5-7 days - (3) Ethambutol x 5-7 days - (4) Need and choice of 4th agent depends on burden of disease and drug-susceptibility pattern.
    CommentsPyrazinamide is often the culprit and effective regimens can be designed without this drug. - Rifamycins are the drugs most important for sterilizing activity (i.e., cure) in TB treatment. - Consider adding a 4th drug if patient has high burden of disease.

    +

    + When to start ART +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do +
      +
    • + CD4 <50: start ART within + 2 weeks of TB therapy +
      • +
    • + CD4 ≥50: start ART by + 8–12 weeks. +
      • +
    • + TB meningitis: defer starting ART and + seek expert advice as CNS TB IRIS may increase morbidity + and mortality +
      • +
    +
    Key details/caveats + Early ART ↓ mortality.
    + CNS TB early ART ↑ severe IRIS risk. +
    +
    + +
    +

    + How to prevent IRIS in TB/HIV +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do +
      +
    • + Consider prednisone 40 mg/day for + 2 weeks, then + 20 mg/day for + 2 weeks for patients with + CD4 ≤100 who starting ART within 30 days + of TB treatment initiation and are responding well to TB + therapy. +
      • +
    • Consult with expert in TB/HIV.
      • +
    +
    Key details/caveats + Contraindicated for patients with rifampin-resistant TB, + Kaposi sarcoma, or active hepatitis B. +
    +
    + +
    +

    + TB Regimen: Drug-susceptible TB (DS_TB) +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do + Use standard 6-month HRZE → HR regimen + (intensive phase 2 months HRZE, continuation phase 4-7 months + HR) +
    Key details/caveatsRemains the global standard for HIV-associated TB
    +
    + +
    +

    + Core ART principles with rifamycins +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do + Rifamycins (rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine) are the most + important TB drug in the treatment of DS-TB and every effort + should be made to include them in the treatment regimen. + However, rifamycins have many drug-drug interactions. + i +
    Key details/caveats + Rifamycins strongly induce CYP3A, UGT, P-gp, causing major ARV + interactions. +
    +
    + +
    +

    + INSTIs with rifamycin +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do + Dolutegravir (DTG): Increase does to 50 mg + twice daily while on rifampin. + Bictegravir (BIC) (INSTI in Biktarvy) is + contraindicated with rifampin and other rifamycins. +
    Key details/caveats +
      +
    • DTG BID validated in HIV–TB.
      • +
    • BIC levels drop severely.
      • +
    +
    +
    + +
    +

    + NNRTIs with rifampin +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to doEfavirenz 600 mg daily is compatible.
    Key details/caveats + Efavirenz generally maintained at therapeutic levels with + rifampin. +
    +
    + +
    +

    + Boosted PIs with rifampin +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do + Do NOT use rifampin with ritonavir- or + cobicistat-boosted PIs. Use rifabutin instead + of rifampin if PI required (can use with ritonavir, cannot use + with cobicistat). +
    Key details/caveats +
      +
    • Monitor for uveitis and neutropenia with rifabutin.
      • +
    • + Dose adjustment for rifabutin generally required; consult + with HIV/TB expert. +
      • +
    +
    +
    + +
    +

    + NRTI backbone +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do + Use TDF/FTC (Truvada) or + 3TC. General recommendations are to avoid + TAF (i.e., TAF/FTC [Descovy]) use with + rifamycins. However, TAF can be used with rifampin with + caution and close monitoring of virologic response per the + DHHS/NIH HIV treatment guidelines. +
    Key details/caveats + Rifamycins lower plasma TAF concentration, but intracellular + levels are preserved. +
    +
    + +
    +

    + TB-IRIS +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do + Continue ART. NSAIDs for mild IRIS. + Prednisone for moderate–severe IRIS. +
    Key details/caveats + ART should NOT be stopped except in life-threatening IRIS. +
    +
    + +
    +

    + TB Meningitis +

    + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    What to do + Use adjunctive steroids. Delay start of ART. + Seek expert advice as CNS TB IRIS may increase morbidity and + mortality +
    Key details/caveatsReduces mortality and CNS IRIS.

    HHS Panel Recommendations on treatment of Tuberculosis Disease with HIV co-infection: Timing of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Initiation relative to TB treatment
    CD4 count and/or clinical status at time of TB diagnosisART Initiation
    < 50 cells/mm³within 2 weeks of starting TB therapy.
    > 50 cells/mm³within 2-8 weeks of starting TB therapy
    Pregnant, any CD4 countAs early as feasible
    -

    ** EXCEPTION: tuberculous meningitis. To avoid life-threatening CNS immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), persons living with HIV and tuberculous meningitis should not be started on ART until AFTER the TB meningitis is under control and at least two weeks anti-TB treatment

    -

    - PREVENTING IRIS (Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome): prednisone 40 mg/day for 2 weeks followed by 20 mg/day for 2 weeks is recommended for people with CD4 100 cells/mm3 who start ART within 30 days of TB treatment, are responding well to treatment, do not have known or suspected rifampin resistance, Kaposi sarcoma, or active hepatitis B. This recommendation does not apply to people with CNS TB for whom steroids are recommended from the time TB treatment is started. -

    Principle: Despite drug interactions, a rifamycin (rifampin or rifabutin) should be included in TB - regimens for patients receiving ART, with dosage adjustment if necessary (see Table SMR11 for dosage - adjustments). -
    Option 1: Rifabutin-based - ART regimen: Integrase inhibitor and 2 NRTIs - Preferred ART choices: RAL or DTG + TDF/FTC - Alternative ART choices: DTG + ABC/3TC - Contraindicated medications: TAF, other integrase inhibitors (Bictegravir, Elvitegravir) - NOTE: Dolutegravir has higher barrier to resistance compared to raltegravir. Dolutegravir is - preferred when there is high risk poor adherence. -
    Option 2: Rifampin-based - ART regimen: Efavirenz and 2 NRTIs - Preferred ART choices: Efavirenz (NNRTI) + (TDF/FTC) Alternative ART choices: Efavirenz + ABC/3TC - Contraindicated medications: TAF, other NNRTIs: Nevaripine, Doravirine, Etravirine, or Rilpivirine - NOTE: Efavirenz is not a preferred regimen for patients initiating ART. Integrase inhibitors DTG and - RAL are preferred ART regimens for patients initiating ART but require BID dosing if used with - rifampin. Efavirenz has low barrier to resistance making this regimen less suitable when there is - high risk for poor adherence. Efavirenz is associated with neuropsychiatric side-effects. Screening - for depression and suicidality is recommended prior to and during efavirenz-based regimens. - Efavirenz + ABC/3TC is associated with higher rates of virologic failure when baseline HIV viral - load is >100.000 copies/ml. -
    Option 3: Rifabutin-based (dose adjusted) - ART regimen: boosted PI and 2 NRTIs - Preferred ART choices: ATV/r or ATV/c + TDF/FTC - DRV/r or DRV/c + TDF/FTC Alternative ART choices: ABC/3TC in place of TDF/FTC - Contraindicated medications: TAF - NOTE: PI’s have high barrier to resistance. However, given rifabutin is given at half-dose when used - with PI’s adherence to ART should be closely monitored. Poor adherence to PI’s while on rifabutin - increases risk for rifampin resistance. -

    Choice for Pregnant women with active TB and HIV infection: - TB regimen: Rifabutin –based (dose adjusted) - ART regimen: boosted PI (ARV/r or DRV/r) 2 + 2 NRTIs (TDF/FTC or ABC/3TC) - NOTE: Preliminary data suggest that there is an increased risk of neural tube defects in infants - born to women who were receiving DTG at the time of conception.

    NOTES: Table 20 Special Situations

    - -

    (1) As with all medications given during pregnancy, anti-TB drugs should be used with caution. The risk of TB to - the fetus far outweighs the risk of medications. Pregnant patients with active TB should be treated. Data are - limited on the safety of some anti-TB drugs during pregnancy. Table 20 presents a consensus of published data - and recommendations. Although detailed teratogenic data is not available, PZA can probably be used safely for - pregnant patients. Concentrations of anti-TB drugs in breast milk are low; treatment with these medications is - not a contraindication to breastfeeding. (Conversely, medication present in breast milk is not sufficient to - prevent or treat TB in the newborn.) Consult a medical expert when treating a pregnant patient who has TB. For - treatment of LTBI, most authorities recommend beginning INH several months after delivery, unless the woman is - at high risk for progression to active TB (e.g., recent TST or IGRA conversion, HIV-infected).

    -

    (2) Steroid treatment appears to improve outcome in TB meningitis, particularly in patients with altered mental - status.

    -

    (3) If possible, monitor serum drug levels of patients with renal insufficiency. See page 71 for dosage.

    -

    (4) Supplement with pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) during pregnancy.

    -

    (5) Has been used intrathecally; efficacy not documented.

    -

    (6) Avoid aminoglycosides and capreomycin in patients with reversible renal damage, if possible.

    -

    (7) Fluoroquinolones may accumulate in renal failure and are poorly removed by dialysis. Dose adjustment - indicated.

Table 7 Notes

-

NOTE: 1 Daily DOT = 5 days/week (Monday through Friday). Self administered doses (including those on - weekends) will not be counted toward the total doses.

-

NOTE 2: Regimen 1a is the preferred regimen for patients with newly diagnosed TB.

-

NOTE 3: Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) 25 - 50 mg/daily should be added to all regimens that include isoniazid - (INH) in adults to prevent development of INH- induced peripheral neuropathy. For patients with pre-existing - peripheral neuropathy, increase pyridoxine dose to 100 mg/day unless there is abnormal renal function.

-

^NOTE: Duration of therapy for patients with drug-susceptible TB should be extended to 9 months (31 weeks - continuation phase, 39 weeks total) for patients who have cavitary pulmonary TB and remain sputum culture - positive after 2 months of therapy. Many experts would extend therapy to 9 months for all patients with - HIV/TB, especially those slow to convert to negative cultures or not on effective HIV treatment.

-

*NOTE: Option 2 should NOT be used for patients living with HIV, cavitary pulmonary TB, disseminated TB, vertebral TB or for patients who have co-morbid medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus, end- stage renal disease or liver disease.

-

NOTE: Split dosing should be avoided.

-

NOTE: Refer to current drug reference or drug package insert for a complete - list of adverse drug reactions and drug interaction.

    PRIVACY NOTICE

    Last updated March 08, 2021



    Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at Georgia Clinical & Translational Science Alliance ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice or our practices with regard to your personal information, please contact us at morgan.greenleaf@emory.edu.

    This privacy notice describes how we might use your information if you:
    • Download and use our mobile application — Georgia TB Reference Guide
    • Engage with us in other related ways ― including any sales, marketing, or events
    In this privacy notice, if we refer to:
    • "App," we are referring to any application of ours that references or links to this policy, including any listed above
    • "Services," we are referring to our App, and other related services, including any sales, marketing, or events
    The purpose of this privacy notice is to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. If there are any terms in this privacy notice that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Services immediately.

    Please read this privacy notice carefully, as it will help you understand what we do with the information that we collect.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS


    1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

    Personal information you disclose to us

    In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.

    We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the App or otherwise when you contact us.

    The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the App, the choices you make and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect may include the following:

    All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

    Information automatically collected

    In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our App.

    We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the App. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our App and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our App, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

    The information we collect includes:
    • Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our App and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type and settings and information about your activity in the App (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called 'crash dumps') and hardware settings).
    • Device Data. We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet or other device you use to access the App. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system and system configuration information.
    • Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device's location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the App. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. Note however, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

    Information collected through our App

    In Short: We collect information regarding your mobile device, push notifications, when you use our App.

    If you use our App, we also collect the following information:
    • Mobile Device Access. We may request access or permission to certain features from your mobile device, including your mobile device's calendar, microphone, and other features. If you wish to change our access or permissions, you may do so in your device's settings.
    • Mobile Device Data. We automatically collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model and manufacturer), operating system, version information and system configuration information, device and application identification numbers, browser type and version, hardware model Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, and Internet Protocol (IP) address (or proxy server). If you are using our App, we may also collect information about the phone network associated with your mobile device, your mobile device’s operating system or platform, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique device ID and information about the features of our App you accessed.
    • Push Notifications. We may request to send you push notifications regarding your account or certain features of the App. If you wish to opt-out from receiving these types of communications, you may turn them off in your device's settings.
    This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our App, for troubleshooting and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

    2. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

    In Short: We process your information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of our contract with you, compliance with our legal obligations, and/or your consent.

    We use personal information collected via our App for a variety of business purposes described below. We process your personal information for these purposes in reliance on our legitimate business interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or for compliance with our legal obligations. We indicate the specific processing grounds we rely on next to each purpose listed below.

    We use the information we collect or receive:

    • For other business purposes. We may use your information for other business purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and to evaluate and improve our App, products, marketing and your experience. We may use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individual end users and does not include personal information.
    • Research

    3. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

    In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

    We may process or share your data that we hold based on the following legal basis:
    • Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.
    • Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.
    • Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.
    • Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
    • Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
    More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:
    • Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
    • Affiliates. We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor this privacy notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.
    • Business Partners. We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services or promotions.

    4. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

    In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

    We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 2 years.

    When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

    5. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

    In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

    We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our App is at your own risk. You should only access the App within a secure environment.

    6. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

    In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

    We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the App, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the App. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at morgan.greenleaf@emory.edu.

    7. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

    In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
    If you are a resident in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

    If you are a resident in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available here: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html.

    8. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

    Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

    9. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

    In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.

    California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.

    If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with the App, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the App. To request removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below, and include the email address associated with your account and a statement that you reside in California. We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the App, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from all our systems (e.g. backups, etc.).

    10. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

    In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

    We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.

    Immunocompromised patients are less likely to have typical CXR findings (i.e., upper lobe infiltrates which may cavitate). A normal CXR does not rule out active pulmonary TB, especially in a person living with HIV.

    - -

    - A minimum of two AFB smears is generally recommended for persons with presumed pulmonary TB. The overall sensitivity of AFB smear for pulmonary TB is 50% to 70%, and the sensitivity is reduced among immunosuppressed and pediatric patients. -

    - -

    First morning sputum specimens have increased sensitivity - and at least one first morning specimen should be obtained.

    - -

    The sensitivity of ATS/IDSA/CDC endorsed NAATs for - smear-negative and smear-positive TB are approximately - 67% and 96% respectively. A negative NAAT performed on a - smear-negative sample does not rule out TB, whereas a - negative NAAT performed on a smear-positive sample usually indicates presence of non-tuberculous - mycobacteria.

    - -

    - For persons with presumed pulmonary TB who are unable to produce good quality sputum (defined as > 3 ml of sputum), consider obtaining induced sputum sample (using 3% NaCl aerosol) for smear, culture, and NAAT samples. -

    • a) for patients with presumed pulmonary TB who are unable to produce a sputum and sputum induction fails to produce good quality samples;
      • -
    • b) when empiric TB treatment is unacceptable (e.g., high-risk for MDR TB);
      • -
    • and/or c) when bronchoscopy is indicated to investigate alternative diagnosis (e.g., lung cancer).
      • -

    - -

    - Bronchoscopy is an aerosol-generating procedure, and infection control and prevention measures for airborne pathogens should be observed. -

    - -

    Consider obtaining post-bronchoscopy sputum sample for - smear, culture, and NAAT

    - -

    - Children are more likely to have paucibacillary disease and are often unable to produce good quality - sputum specimens. However, clinicians should pursue microbiological TB diagnosis when feasible. Stool - for AFB culture and gastric aspirate when appropriately performed has a yield of > 50%. Instruct - patients to fast overnight prior to having the gastric aspirate performed. Commensal non-tuberculous - mycobacteria are present in the GI tract and a positive AFB smear of a gastric aspirate should be - interpreted with caution.

        • +
      • + Rifampin is a potent inducer of the CYP3A, while rifabutin is a less potent inducer. Rifampin cannot + be given with most protease inhibitors because it results in low serum levels of these drugs. +
        • +
      • + Rifabutin has less of an effect and therefore can be used with certain protease inhibitors as + described below. +

      + Dear Clinician:

      The Georgia TB Reference Guide responds to clinicians’ questions about tuberculosis infection, disease, and prevention and control. The standards and guidelines are based on the work and recommendations of the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), Emory University, and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Guide also provides guidance from the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) TB Program and contact information for District TB Coordinators. This updated edition of the Guide contains updated recommendations on the treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) and treatment of active TB disease and an updated format inspired by users of the Guide app. - +

      The treatment of a person with TB always requires a clinician to exercise clinical and professional judgment. These guidelines provide a framework for the diagnosis and treatment of persons with TB infection or active TB disease. diff --git a/app/src/main/assets/pages/table_18_grady_hospital_tb_isolation_policy.html b/app/src/main/assets/pages/table_18_grady_hospital_tb_isolation_policy.html index 22057a6..4a1cc50 100644 --- a/app/src/main/assets/pages/table_18_grady_hospital_tb_isolation_policy.html +++ b/app/src/main/assets/pages/table_18_grady_hospital_tb_isolation_policy.html @@ -21,13 +21,13 @@
