Official American Thoracic Society/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Infectious Diseases Society of America Clinical Practice Guidelines: Treatment of Drug-Susceptible Tuberculosis. Clin Infect Dis 2016; 63:e147-e195. [PMID: 27516382 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciw376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 652] [Impact Index Per Article: 81.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2016] [Accepted: 06/06/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The American Thoracic Society, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Infectious Diseases Society of America jointly sponsored the development of this guideline for the treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis, which is also endorsed by the European Respiratory Society and the US National Tuberculosis Controllers Association. Representatives from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Canadian Thoracic Society, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, and the World Health Organization also participated in the development of the guideline. This guideline provides recommendations on the clinical and public health management of tuberculosis in children and adults in settings in which mycobacterial cultures, molecular and phenotypic drug susceptibility tests, and radiographic studies, among other diagnostic tools, are available on a routine basis. For all recommendations, literature reviews were performed, followed by discussion by an expert committee according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology. Given the public health implications of prompt diagnosis and effective management of tuberculosis, empiric multidrug treatment is initiated in almost all situations in which active tuberculosis is suspected. Additional characteristics such as presence of comorbidities, severity of disease, and response to treatment influence management decisions. Specific recommendations on the use of case management strategies (including directly observed therapy), regimen and dosing selection in adults and children (daily vs intermittent), treatment of tuberculosis in the presence of HIV infection (duration of tuberculosis treatment and timing of initiation of antiretroviral therapy), as well as treatment of extrapulmonary disease (central nervous system, pericardial among other sites) are provided. The development of more potent and better-tolerated drug regimens, optimization of drug exposure for the component drugs, optimal management of tuberculosis in special populations, identification of accurate biomarkers of treatment effect, and the assessment of new strategies for implementing regimens in the field remain key priority areas for research. See the full-text online version of the document for detailed discussion of the management of tuberculosis and recommendations for practice.

Abstract
Rifabutin is a spiro-piperidyl-rifamycin structurally closely related to rifampicin that shares many of its properties. We attempted to address the reasons why this drug, which was recently recognized as a WHO Essential Medicine, still had a far narrower range of indications than rifampicin, 24 years after its launch. In this comprehensive review of the classic and more recent rifabutin experimental and clinical studies, the current state of knowledge about rifabutin is depicted, relying on specific pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, antimicrobial properties, resistance data and side effects compared with rifampicin. There are consistent in vitro data and clinical studies showing that rifabutin has at least equivalent activity/efficacy and acceptable tolerance compared with rifampicin in TB and non-tuberculous mycobacterial diseases. Clinical studies have emphasized the clinical benefits of low rifabutin liver induction in patients with AIDS under PIs, in solid organ transplant patients under immunosuppressive drugs or in patients presenting intolerable side effects related to rifampicin. The contribution of rifabutin for rifampicin-resistant, but rifabutin-susceptible, Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates according to the present breakpoints has been challenged and is now controversial. Compared with rifampicin, rifabutin's lower AUC is balanced by higher intracellular penetration and lower MIC for most pathogens. Clinical studies are lacking in non-mycobacterial infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In hemodialyzed patients, physicians have to (1) adjust drug dosage for a creatinine clearance lower than 10-15 ml/min and (2) know whether or not the drug will be removed by the dialysis session to decide whether it may be administered before or after the session on dialysis days. However, of several indices being used to evaluate drug removal by dialysis none is appropriate and we suggest a novel index named F(HD), which reflects the role of hemodialysis clearance of a drug in its overall clearance during the session. METHODS Pharmacokinetic simulations were performed to test the influence of dialysis on the pharmacokinetics of some drugs, whether F(HD) was considered or not, to determine when to administer the drug. F(HD) was then calculated for several drugs and its value compared with other indices. Five hemodialysis patients from our department for whom the time of drug administration was determined according to F(HD) were included in a small study and their drugs' trough concentrations were monitored. RESULTS F(HD) emphasized that considering hemodialysis clearance alone may lead to false interpretations of the potential dialyzability of some drugs. In our patients, who received their treatment according to the 'F(HD) rule', monitoring of trough levels gave satisfactory results. CONCLUSION The use of the 'F(HD) rule' should be tested on a long-term administration basis to confirm our conclusion. F(HD )could be the index of choice to determine when to administer a drug, before or after the session, in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is re-emerging in patients with altered immune status, such as those with chronic renal failure. Clinicians should thus be aware of the pharmacokinetics and dosage adjustment of antitubercular drugs in patients with renal insufficiency. Among patients with renal insufficiency, those who are dialysed should be treated with special care. Indeed, dosage should always be closely adjusted in these patients and potential removal by dialysis must be taken into account. However reliable the dosage adjustment recommendations are for these drugs in patients with renal failure, further pharmacokinetic investigations need to be performed, especially in dialysis patients in whom the influence of haemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis on drug pharmacokinetics needs to be detailed. In the meantime, it could be generally advised to administer all antitubercular drugs after the haemodialysis session, even though some drugs are known to be non-dialysable.
