Diagnostic Testing: Viral Load
More sensitive than HIV antibody3 Positive one to three weeks before antibody test1 Typically high level, e.g. greater than 50,000-100,000 copies/mL in acute infection2,3 False positives can occur
Most false positives are low level (<10,000 copies/mL) HIV VL <10,000 copies/mL should probably be considered “indeterminate” 1. Busch MP, Satten GA. Am J Med 1997;102:Suppl 5B:117-24. 2. Kahn JO, Walker BD. N Engl J Med. 1998;339:33-39. 3. Daar ES et al. Ann Intern Med. 2001;134:25-29.

He is an active intravenous heroin user and has not been able to stay on antiretroviral therapy. The patient describes a 2-3 month history of persistent papules on his face that have gradually increased in number and size.

A 39-year-old HIV-infected male presents to the clinic with a 14-day history of a mild burning sensation in his mouth. He was diagnosed with HIV infection in 2001, but has remained asymptomatic up until now. Most recent laboratory studies performed 2 months earlier showed a CD4 count of 250 cells/mm3. By inspection of the mouth you see creamy white plaques or patches on oral tissues that can be scraped off

The Dual Epidemic
HIV 40 Million

WHO estimates, 2005
HIV and TB: Global Epidemiology
Proportion of TB cases with HIV infection increased dramatically in 1990s Burden per capita highest in sub-Saharan Africa >50% of TB cases HIV infected
HIV-Infected Patients Are at Increased Risk
To acquire TB To develop active TB once infected with TB To become re-infected with a second strain of TB

MTB Pulmonary Disease in AIDS Patients
75 % of patients have pulmonary disease 20 – 59 % have hilar or mediastinal adenopathy 12 – 28 % have pleural effusions 7 – 18 % have miliary pattern 12 % have normal CXR, positive sputum culture Other diseases masquerade as TB
TB Treatment
Treat HIV+ same as HIV– INH, RIF, PZA x 2 months, INH, RIF x 4 months Use EMB initially while sensitivities pending if INH resistance > 4 %
TB Treatment in HIV Coinfected Patients
Response rates similar between HIV+ and HIV– patients Components of successful therapy: Resistance testing DOT
Multiple-drug-resistant TB will emerge and spread with inadequate treatment programs
A 32-year-old man with pulmonary TB is treated with INH, PZA, EMB, RIF At first there is a good response, however two weeks after starting treatment he’s getting fever of 38.3C, cervical lymfadenopathy and shortness of breath

“Paradoxical Reactions” in Tuberculosis (IRIS) Transient worsening of clinical signs and symptoms after initial response to anti-tuberculosis therapy
“IRIS” in Tuberculosis
First recognized in 1950s Lymphadenitis (12 – 25 %), pulmonary disease, central nervous system, tuberculomas 1 – 6 months post initiation of therapy May require steroids
“IRIS” in Tuberculosis and HIV Co-infection
Can happen with any antiretroviral regimen Mean onset of symptoms is 2 weeks Mean duration of symptoms is 3 weeks Most common symptoms include fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, intrathoracic lymphadenopathy Associated with restoration of immune responses to M. tuberculosis
TB and HIV: Immediate vs. Delayed HAART
TB treatment must be given urgently.
The urgency of HIV treatment depends on predictors of HIV disease progression especially the CD4 cell count.
<100 cells/mm3 HAART ASAP 100-200 cells/mm3 - HAART after 2 months >200 cells/mm3 - HAART after TB RX finished
Antiretroviral Therapy Options
Triple NRTI with Rifampin NNRTI (EFV) 800 mg* with Rifampin Ritonavir + saquinavir with rifampin Protease inhibitor (IDV, NFV, APV)* with Rifabutin
*Dose adjusted

A 23 year old male presents with dry cough since three weeks and dyspnoe. He was tested HIVpositive three years ago. Then with a CD4 count of 300.

Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia: Epidemiology
Caused by P jiroveci (formerly P carinii) Before widespread use of PCP prophylaxis and effective ART, PCP seen in 70-80% of AIDS patients Risk factor: CD4 count <200 cells/µL
PCP: Clinical Manifestations
dyspnea, fever, nonproductive cough, chest discomfort Subacute onset, worsens over days-weeks Chest exam may be normal, or diffuse dry rales, tachypnea CXR: Typical: diffuse bilateral, symmetrical interstitial infiltrates
PCP: Diagnosis
Clinical presentation, blood tests, radiographs suggestive but not diagnostic
Organism cannot be cultured
Hypoxemia: characteristic, may be mild or severe (PO2 <70 mmHg) LDH >500 mg/dL is common
PCP: Diagnosis (Imaging)
Chest X ray: PCP with bilateral, diffuse granular opacities
Chest X ray: PCP with bilateral perihilar opacities, interstitial prominence, hyperlucent cystic lesions
PCP: Diagnosis
Definitive diagnosis requires demonstrating organism:
Induced sputum (sensitivity <56%) Spontaneously expectorated sputum: low sensitivity
Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (sensitivity 90-99%)
PCP: Diagnosis (Histopathology)
silver stain: P jiroveci organisms in tissue
PCP: Primary Prophylaxis
Initiate:
Discontinue:
CD4 <200 cells/µL On ART with CD4 >200 cells/µL for >3 months
Reinitiate:
CD4 decreases to <200 cells/µL
PCP: Primary Prophylaxis (2)
First choice:
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 480 mg QD
PCP: Primary Prophylaxis (3)
Alternative
TMP-SMX DS 1 tablet PO 3 times Q week Dapsone 100 mg PO QD or 50 mg BID Aerosolized pentamidine 300 mg Q month Atovaquone 1,500 mg PO QD*
* Effective as toxoplasmosis prophylaxis (for CD4 count <100 cells/µL + positive serology)
PCP: Treatment
Duration: 21 days for all treatment regimens Preferred: TMP-SMX 1980 mg tid
Adjust dosage for renal insufficiency
PCP: Treatment
Adjunctive:
Corticosteroids For moderate-to-severe disease (room
air PO2 <70
mmHg) Give as early as possible (within 72 hours) Prednisone 40 mg BID days 1-5 40 mg QD days 6-10 20 mg QD days 11-21
