Guidance for the management of patients with latent tuberculosis infection requiring biologic therapy in rheumatology and dermatology clinical practice.
Since the introduction of biologics for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and psoriasis (Pso) an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) reactivation in patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) has been recorded for anti-TNF agents, while a low or absent risk is associated with the non-anti-TNF targeted biologics. To reduce...
متن کاملReactivation of Tuberculosis in Three Cases of Psoriasis after Initiation of Anti-TNF Therapy
New biological therapies for disabling diseases such as psoriasis may carry both short- and long-term risks. Tuberculosis (TB) reactivation is a frequent complication of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. We present 3 cases of psoriasis that were treated with different types of anti-TNF and developed TB infection (TBI) during therapy. One of the cases was diagnosed as active pulmonary TB...
متن کاملImaging the evolution of reactivation pulmonary tuberculosis in mice using 18F-FDG PET.
UNLABELLED Latent tuberculosis infection affects one third of the world's population and can reactivate (relapse) decades later. However, current technologies, dependent on postmortem analyses, cannot follow the temporal evolution of disease. METHODS C3HeB/FeJ mice, which develop necrotic and hypoxic tuberculosis lesions, were aerosol-infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. PET and CT were ...
متن کاملHip Surgery in Quiescent or Active Tubercular Hip Arthritis; Is Reactivation Risk Really a Matter
About 15 % of all musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB) have hip involvement. Early anti-tubercular drug therapy and other conservative treatment including short-term traction and mobilization programs could prevent hip joint destruction. Reactivation of TB accounts for a significant of active TB incidence, especially in the developed countries with a low TB prevalence. The risk of TB activation ...
متن کاملRecurrence of tuberculosis in a low incidence setting
Recurrence of active tuberculosis after treatment of an initial disease episode can be due to endogenous reactivation or exogenous reinfection. Cases of recurrent tuberculosis in the Australian state of New South Wales between 1994 and 2006 were identified by data linkage analysis with confirmatory review of case notes. We included patients with more than one culture positive disease episode du...
