Challenges to TB Elimination

Loss of expertise and experience– Clinical, laboratory, program

Drug and biologic shortages because of lack of market– Regulatory requirements limit access to Global Drug Facility or 

other mechanisms that can access larger global market Concentration of remaining cases and outbreaks in more difficult‐

to‐reach populations– Foreign‐born, homeless, etc.

How to address the large pool of persons with LTBI– <10 thousand TB cases; millions of persons with LTBI

Updated Estimate of Recent TB Transmission

Publication: Recent Transmission of Tuberculosis—United States, 2011–2014. Courtney M. Yuen, J. Steve Kammerer, Kala Marks, Thomas R. Navin, Anne Marie France. PLoS ONE 11(4): e0153728. doi:10.1371/journal. pone.0153728

Used a field‐validated plausible source‐case method to estimate cases likely resulting from recent transmission during January 2011–September 2014

Of 26,586 genotyped cases, 14% were attributable to recent transmission

Remaining 86% likely result from reactivation of LTBI

Diagnosis of TB Disease

If the correct tests are ordered, essentially all TB patients should be diagnosed within weeks, with 75% or more diagnosed within days, using currently available technology

Major delays in diagnosis are due to patients not having access to or seeking care or clinicians not considering TB in differential diagnosis

Nevertheless, would benefit from an inexpensive, rapid test with sensitivity comparable to culture, especially if point of care

Page 17: APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of ... › conferences › Documents › 2017 TB...APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of Tuberculosis Philip LoBue,

Detection of Drug Resistance

Substantial advances have been made in molecular testing– Allows more rapid detection of drug‐resistance

Xpert TB/RIF has been useful as an initial screen Gaps, both for culture‐based and molecular testing, for a number of first 

and second‐line drugs Discordance between molecular and culture‐based tests Mutations of unknown significance

Page 18: APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of ... › conferences › Documents › 2017 TB...APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of Tuberculosis Philip LoBue,

Response to Treatment

Still dependent on culture conversion– Substantial delay

Need new biomarkers to measure response to treatment– Lack of alternative biomarkers is a major obstacle to new drug and 

regimen development– Clinical trials are longer and more costly

Page 19: APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of ... › conferences › Documents › 2017 TB...APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of Tuberculosis Philip LoBue,

Molecular Epidemiology

Current national system based on 24 locus MIRU and spoligotyping has been very useful at detecting and responding to transmission events (outbreaks)

In certain situations, discriminatory power has not been adequate– Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been helpful

Challenge will be to transition to universal WGS over next few years– Sequencing capacity– Information storage– Analysis and integration with conventional surveillance data

Page 20: APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of ... › conferences › Documents › 2017 TB...APHL 10th National Conference on Laboratory Aspects of Tuberculosis Philip LoBue,

Testing for LTBI

Interferon‐gamma release assays (IGRA) have been particularly useful for testing persons with BCG vaccination and those less likely to return for tuberculin skin test (TST) reading

Incremental improvement– For both IGRA and TST, only 5‐10% of persons who test positive will 

progress to TB disease– Must treat 10‐20 people for LTBI for each one that will progress to TB 

disease A transformational test that is much better at predicting who will 

progress to TB disease is needed to better address LTBI, which is key to TB elimination
