Jeyaraman M, Jain VK, Vaishya R. Bone graft tuberculosis outbreak in USA: Is it a concern in India? J Clin Orthop Trauma 2023; 39:102145. [PMID: 36908374 PMCID: PMC9996431 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2023.102145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Globally, 25% of the population is infected with tuberculosis, which poses a leading cause of death worldwide. The transmission of tuberculosis (TB) during organ transplant is reported in the literature whereas only one report has been published on the transmission of TB, during bone allograft transplantation. In the US, in May 2021, an outbreak of TB occurred in patients undergoing spine surgery with bone allograft. This bone graft was retrieved from 80 years deceased donor with latent TB, which was not diagnosed earlier. The recipients were started with a long course of anti-tuberculous drugs. This review narrates the pathway of TB spread among transplant recipients and the strategies to be followed while performing organ or tissue transplantation.

A practical approach to tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment in liver transplant recipients in a low-prevalence area. Med Mal Infect 2018; 49:231-240. [PMID: 30591271 DOI: 10.1016/j.medmal.2018.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2017] [Revised: 02/11/2018] [Accepted: 11/26/2018] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
Solid organ transplant candidates/recipients are at risk of mycobacterial infections. Although guidelines on the management of latent tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis are available for solid organ transplant recipients, limited guidance focuses on end-stage liver disease or liver transplant recipients who require management in a referral center. Therapeutic challenges arise from direct antituberculosis drug-related hepatotoxicity, and substantial metabolic interactions between immunosuppressive and antituberculosis drugs. Another issue is the optimal timing of therapy with regards to the time of transplantation. This review focuses on the importance of tuberculosis screening with immunological tests, challenges in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis, as well as risk assessment for active tuberculosis in the critical peri-liver transplantation period. We detail therapeutic adjustments required for the management of antituberculosis drugs in latent tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis, particularly when concomitantly using rifampicin and immunosuppressive drugs.

Abad CLR, Razonable RR. Donor derived Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection after solid-organ transplantation: A comprehensive review. Transpl Infect Dis 2018; 20:e12971. [PMID: 30055041 DOI: 10.1111/tid.12971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2018] [Revised: 06/30/2018] [Accepted: 07/25/2018] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be transmitted via the allograft to cause a morbid and potentially fatal infection after solid organ transplantation (SOT). We reviewed all reported cases of donor-derived tuberculosis (DDTB) to provide an update on its epidemiology, clinical course, and outcome after SOT. METHODS MEDLINE, OVID, and EMBASE were reviewed from its inception until December 31, 2016 using key words donor-derived infection, tuberculosis and solid organ transplant or transplantation. RESULTS We retrieved 36 cases of proven (n = 17), probable (n = 8), and possible (n = 11) DDTB among 16 lung, 13 kidney, 6 liver, and 1 heart recipients. Most patients were male (21/35, 60%) with median age of 48 (range 23-68) years. Median time to clinical presentation or diagnosis was 2.7 months (range 0.2-29). The most common donor risk factor was residence in a TB-endemic area (13/28, 46.4%). Fever was the most frequent presenting symptom (20/36, 56.5%). Diagnosis of tuberculosis was mostly made via AFB smear or mycobacterial culture (30/36, 83.3%). Allograft involvement was expectedly common; there were almost equal proportions of pulmonary (36%), extra-pulmonary (28%) and disseminated (36%) cases. All cases of pulmonary TB were identified only among lung transplant recipients. The median duration of TB treatment was 10.5 (range 3-24) months. Graft loss occurred in four (4/22, 18.2%) patients. All-cause mortality was 25% (9/36); four of nine deaths were attributed to TB. CONCLUSIONS Donor-derived TB presents early after SOT, most commonly as fever, and carries a high mortality risk. Donors should be screened, with particular attention to TB risk factors. Fever during the early post-operative period should prompt a thorough evaluation for DDTB in endemic regions and among patients with "at-risk" donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is a common pathogen worldwide, and it may cause significant infection after solid organ transplantation (SOT). We reviewed all reported TB cases to provide an update on its epidemiology, clinical presentation, management, and outcome after SOT. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and OVID were reviewed from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2016, using keywords tuberculosis and solid organ transplant or transplantation. RESULTS There were 187 publications reporting 2082 cases of TB among kidney (n = 1719), liver (n = 253), heart (n = 77), lung (n = 25), and kidney-pancreas (n = 8) recipients. Among cohort studies, the median incidence was 2.37% (range, 0.05%-13.27%) overall. Most TB disease was considered reactivation of latent infection, occurring beyond the first year after SOT. Early-onset cases were seen among donor-derived TB cases. Fever was the most common symptom. Radiologic findings were highly variable. Extrapulmonary and disseminated TB occurred 29.84% and 15.96%, respectively. Multidrug-resistant TB was rare. Treatment using 4 or 5 drugs was commonly associated with hepatotoxicity and graft dysfunction. All-cause mortality was 18.84%. CONCLUSIONS This large review highlights the complexity of TB after SOT. Reactivation TB, donor-transmitted infection, extrapulmonary involvement, and disseminated disease are common occurrences. Treatment of TB is commonly associated with hepatotoxicity and graft dysfunction.

PET CT Identifies Reactivation Risk in Cynomolgus Macaques with Latent M. tuberculosis. PLoS Pathog 2016; 12:e1005739.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection presents across a spectrum in humans, from latent infection to active tuberculosis. Among those with latent tuberculosis, it is now recognized that there is also a spectrum of infection and this likely contributes to the variable risk of reactivation tuberculosis. Here, functional imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxygluose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET CT) of cynomolgus macaques with latent M. tuberculosis infection was used to characterize the features of reactivation after tumor necrosis factor (TNF) neutralization and determine which imaging characteristics before TNF neutralization distinguish reactivation risk. PET CT was performed on latently infected macaques (n = 26) before and during the course of TNF neutralization and a separate set of latently infected controls (n = 25). Reactivation occurred in 50% of the latently infected animals receiving TNF neutralizing antibody defined as development of at least one new granuloma in adjacent or distant locations including extrapulmonary sites. Increased lung inflammation measured by PET and the presence of extrapulmonary involvement before TNF neutralization predicted reactivation with 92% sensitivity and specificity. To define the biologic features associated with risk of reactivation, we used these PET CT parameters to identify latently infected animals at high risk for reactivation. High risk animals had higher cumulative lung bacterial burden and higher maximum lesional bacterial burdens, and more T cells producing IL-2, IL-10 and IL-17 in lung granulomas as compared to low risk macaques. In total, these data support that risk of reactivation is associated with lung inflammation and higher bacterial burden in macaques with latent Mtb infection.

Abstract
Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at risk for opportunistic infections including tuberculosis. Although guidelines on the management of latent tuberculosis and active tuberculosis are available, there remain a number of clinical areas with limited guidance. We discuss challenges in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of latent and active tuberculosis in SOT candidates and recipients who reside in low-tuberculosis-prevalence areas. We discuss the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis in SOT candidates/recipients using tuberculin skin tests and interferon-γ release assays and risk stratification of SOT candidates/recipients that would identify individuals at high risk for latent tuberculosis despite negative test results. Through a careful review of posttransplant tuberculosis cases, we identify a history of treated tuberculosis in SOT recipients as a risk factor for development of posttransplant active tuberculosis. Finally, we include comparisons of recommendations by several large transplant organizations and identify areas for future research.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the solid organ transplant community has focused increased attention on unexpected transmission of infectious pathogens from organ donor to recipient. While unexpected donor-derived infections are relatively uncommon, recent cases of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C to multiple recipients, as well as transmission of HIV from a living donor, have further increased interest in improving the safety of solid organ transplantation. This article will review the epidemiology and outcomes associated with unexpected donor-derived infection. Furthermore, the reporting and patient safety process will be discussed, as will preventative measures that can reduce the burden of donor-derived infection.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is an opportunistic infection with high morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant patients. The reasons for this high morbidity and mortality lie mostly in diagnostic difficulties, which cause delays in starting treatment, and associated pharmaceutical toxicity. There are still major issues and difficulties in managing tuberculosis in solid organ transplant patients. These include problems due to interactions between antituberculosis and immunosuppressant drugs, the high risk of toxicity of antituberculosis drugs (particularly in liver transplant patients) and the absence of clear indications for the treatment of latent tuberculous infection. This article updates current understanding of tuberculosis in solid organ transplant patients.

Abstract
Although advances in surgical technique, immunosuppressive regimens, and medical management have led to improved survival and quality of life after solid organ transplantation, infection continues to represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in transplant recipients. Immunosuppressive therapy after transplantation compromises cell-mediated immunity in particular, leaving the patient at risk for opportunistic as well as routine community-acquired infections. Mycobacterial infection is a rare but important complication of solid organ transplantation, presenting significant risk to the patient and challenges in terms of treatment. The available literature consists predominantly of case reports and institutional experiences. This article examines both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in the transplant setting.
