Ecology of HIV and TB
  1. TB
    1. Mycobacterium tuberculosis
      1. > lungs; hide inside macrophages (innate); form tubercle; hidden
        1. w/out treatment > eye, nerve tissue, spleen, GI tract, kidney.. death
          1. suffer undernutrition
            1. vertebrae collapse
            2. bone lesions follow spread of bacilli in blood stream: spine, hip, knee
              1. seen in arch record
                1. diagnosis using lipid markers
            3. timetable of progression in adolescents (UK Medical Council, 1972)
              1. 10% of total infected; 4.3% developed clinical symptoms after 1 year; 2.1% 1 -2 yrs; 1.7% 2 - 10 yrs; 8% in total after 10 yrs
                1. immune system 'walls off'
              2. globalisation
                1. est to have emerged approx 40,000 yrs ago coinciding w expansion out of Africa; demographic expansion in almost all lineages coincide w human expansion in last 200 yr (Wirth et al., 2008)
                2. historical records: interpret w caution; different names and understandings e.g. consumption; classical hindu, Babylonian, Chinese and Roman texts all describe the signs n symptoms of TB
                  1. public health
                    1. 1882: Koch - bacterial cause understood
                      1. 1922: vaccination w BCG
                        1. 1943: streptomycin, antibiotic
                          1. Post WWII British vaccination program; demolition of slums; mass chest x rays
                            1. successful public health response (Swerdlow, 1987)
                              1. BUT resurgence in UK in those born overseas; Lancet targeted Indians but also SSA, Pakistan
                                1. TB - higher incidence in homeless, alcoholics, injected drug users and those w HIV (reemergence linked to HIV epidemic)
                                  1. multiple drug resistant TB (MDR TB) e.g. to isoniazid, rifampicin
                      2. DOT - directly observed therapy
                        1. detection of infection; 6 - 8 months directly observed medication
                      3. >1 mil new cases reported in India & China in 2007
                        1. HIV prev in new TB cases above 50% in Southern Africa (WHO)
                        2. Human Immunodeficiency Virus
                          1. primarily spread through unprotected anal or vaginal sex (95% of cases in UK) but also from mother during pregnancy, through sharing needles
                            1. transmitted in bodily fluids (semen, vaginal, anal, breast milk)
                              1. end of 2012 just under 100,000 w HIV in UK
                                1. high risk groups are gay an bisexual men and African men and women
                                  1. WHO est 34 mil
                                    1. 2.7 mil new infections in 2010; 21% below peak of epidemic in 1997
                                2. symptoms: flu like symptoms 2 - 6 weeks post infection aka 'seroconversion illness';
                                  1. after often no symptoms for several years aka 'asymptomatic HIV infection'; spreads and damages immune system
                                    1. late stage: diarrhoea, white spots on tongue, swollen glands; at risk of TB, pneumonia
                                      1. AIDS - syndrome not disease; collection of signs and symptoms all caused by HIV
                                      2. CD4 T cell count per cubic mil of blood; strength of immune system
                                        1. man: 400 -1600; women slightly higher; sharp drop following infection; stabilise at 500
                                          1. even when well millions of CD4 cells infected every day and lost, millions more produced to replace; w/out treatment CD4 will fall over time
                                          2. T cells part of adaptive immune system; HIV attaches to CD 4 receptor; copies; causes lysis of CD4 cell invades others
                                          3. viral load test
                                            1. 'copies' of HIV per mil of blood
                                              1. high viral load usually correlates w low CD4
                                        2. SSA: in some countries over 20% of adults; fastest spread happening in E Europe & C Asia (increased by 250% between 2001 - 2011)
                                          1. over 50% of those eligible for treatment are not recieveing it
                                            1. increasing HIV + 50+s; 21% in 2010
