  1. TUBERCULOSIS Pulmonary TB

  2. BY • PROF. • AZZA EL- MEDANY • DR. • SAID

  3. OBJECTIVES • At the end of lecture , the students should: • Discuss the etiology of tuberculosis • Discuss the common route for transmission of the disease • Discusses the out line for treatment of tuberculosis • Discuss the drugs used in the first & second line

  4. OBJECTIVES ( continue) • Discuss the individual drugs regarding : • The mechanism of action • Adverse effects • Drug interactions • Contraindication • Discuss tuberculosis & pregnancy • Discuss tuberculosis & breast feeding

  5. Etiology Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an acid fast bacillus with three types known to infect man causing pulmonary TB: • The human type, commonest • The bovine type • The africanum type Recently, the three are identified as the mycobacterium tuberculosis complex

  6. Robert Koch was the first to see Mycobacterium tuberculosis with his staining technique in 1882.

  7. Disease information: • Each year, 1% of the global population is infected.

  8. Tuberculosis • Common sites of infections • Apical areas of lung • Renal parenchyma • Growing ends of bones Where oxygen tension is high

  9. Treatment Of Tuberculosis • Preventing development of drug resistance is the most important reason to use drug combination. • Periods of treatment ( minimum 6 months) • Drugs are divided into two groups: • First line 2. Second line

  10. Antimycobacterial drugs • First line of drugs: • Isoniazid (INH) • Rifampin • Ethambutol • Streptomycin • Pyrazinamide

  11. Never use a single drug therapy • Isoniazid –rifampin combination administered for 9 months will cure 95-98% of cases . • Addition of pyrazinamide for this combination for the first 2 months allows total duration to be reduced to 6 months.

  12. Isoniazid • Bacteriostatic for resting bacilli. • Bactericidal for rapidly dividing bacilli. • Is effective against intracellular as well as extracellular bacilli

  13. Mechanism Of Action • Is a prodrug, activated by mycobacterial enzyme • Inhibits the synthesis of mycobacterial cell wall by inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acid----

  14. Clinical uses • Mycobacterial infections . • Latent tuberculosis in patients with positive tuberculin skin test • Prophylaxis against active TB in individuals who are in great risk .

  15. Adverse effects • Peripheral neuritis (pin & needles sensation in the feet ) • Optic neuritis &atrophy. (Pyridoxine{Vit.B6} should be given in both cases ) • Hepatitis

  16. Drug Interactions of INH • Enzyme inhibitor (inhibits the hepatic microsomal enzymes especially cytochrome P450 .

  17. Rifampin • Bactericidal • Inhibits RNA synthesis by binding to DNA dependent RNA polymerase enzyme.

  18. Site of Action • Intracellular bacilli • Extracellular bacilli

  19. Clinical uses • Mycobacterial infections • Prophylaxis of active tuberculosis. • Treatment of serious staphylococcal infections. • Meningitis by highly resistant penicillin pneumococci

  20. Adverse effects • Harmless red-orange discoloration of bodysecretions . • Hepatitis • Flu-like syndrome • Hemolytic anemia

  21. Drug Interactions • Enzyme inducer of hepatic microsomal enzymes ( cytochrome P450)

  22. Ethambutol • Bacteriostatic • Inhibits mycobacterial cell wall synthesis ( Binds to arabinosyl transferase )

  23. Site Of Action • Intracellular & Extracellular bacilli

  24. Clinical uses • Treatment of tuberculosis in combination with other drugs.

  25. Adverse effects • Impaired visual acuity • red-green color blindness. • Ethambutol is contraindicated in children under 5 years.

  26. Pyrazinamide • Prodrug. • Bactericidal • Mechanism of action is unknown .

  27. Site Of Action • Active against Intracellular Bacilli

  28. Clinical uses • Mycobacterial infections mainly in multidrug resistance cases. • It is important in short –course (6 months) regimen. • Prophylaxis of TB .

  29. Adverse effects • Hepatotoxicity • Hyperuricemia ( precipitate gouty arthritis ) • Drug fever & skin rash

  30. Streptomycin • Bactericidal • Inhibitors of protein synthesis by binding to 30 S ribosomal subunits. • Active mainly on extracellular bacilli

  31. Clinical uses • Severe , life-threating form of T.B. as meningitis, disseminated disease.

  32. Adverse Effects • Ototoxicity • Nephrotoxicity • Neuromuscular block

  33. Indication of 2nd line treatment • Resistance to the drugs of 1st line. • Failure of clinical response • There is contraindication for first line drugs. • Used in typical & atypical tuberculosis

  34. Ethionamide • Inhibits the synthesis of mycobacterial cell wall through inhibition of mycolic acid synthesis

  35. Clinical uses • As a secondary line agent.

  36. Adverse Effects Poorly tolerated Because of : • Severe gastric irritation & • Neurological manifestations

  37. Fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin ) • Effective against multidrug- resistant tuberculosis.

  38. Rifabutin • RNA inhibitor • Cross –resistance with rifampin is complete. • Enzyme inducer for cytochrome P450

  39. Clinical uses • Effective in prevention &treatment of T.B. • In prevention & treatment of atypical TB.

  40. Adverse Effects • GIT intolerance • Orange-red discoloration of body secretions.

  41. Aminosalicylic Acid (PAS). • Bacteriostatic • Inhibits Folic acid synthesis.

  42. Clinical uses • As a second line agent is used in the treatment of pulmonary & other forms of tuberculosis.

  43. Adverse effects • GIT upset • Hypersensitivity reactions • Crystalluria

  44. TB & Pregnancy • Untreated TB represents a great risk to the pregnant woman & her fetus than the treatment itself. • First line drugs are given for 9 months in normal doses • Streptomycin is the last alternative in treatment

  45. TB & Breast Feeding • It is not a contraindication to receive drugs , but caution is recommended
