The UC San Diego AntiViral Research Center sponsors weekly presentations by infectious disease clinicians, physicians and researchers. The goal of these presentations is to provide the most current research, clinical practices and trends in HIV, HBV, HCV, TB and other infectious diseases of global significance. The slides from the AIDS Clinical Rounds presentation that you are about to view are intended for the educational purposes of our audience. They may not be used for other purposes without the presenter’s express permission.

Specific Aims
1. To establish the prevalence and incidence
of latent tuberculosis and active tuberculosis in healthcare workers at Maputo Central Hospital, Mozambique.
2. To study the operating characteristics of QFT and TST in diagnosing latent TB in the healthcare setting in Mozambique.
3. To explore the dose response of quantitative QFT vs. quantitative TST.

Conclusions and Next Steps
Active and latent TB prevalence was as expected high among HCW at Maputo General Hospital.
67% of LTBI are high risk, thus meet criteria for LTBI prophylaxis.
Workers in several departments are at significantly higher risk of LTBI, suggesting specific occupational risks.
The results will be helpful in developing targets for intervention, including full implementation of FAST F-A-S-T: FINDING TB cases ACTIVELY by cough surveillance and rapid
diagnosis, SEPARATION and exposure reduction until effective TREATMENT starts
Follow up is planned to evaluate the incidence of LTBI/active TB and determine the adherence to isoniazid preventive therapy.

What was achieved? What barriers still exist?
We met goals for: Recruitment HIV testing and staging Diagnostic work up of TB suspects, including sputum
induction Maintaning confidentiality But we still have barriers: Adherence with follow-up visits low (only 30%) Poor adherence with INH prophylaxis

Discussion
• Our study suggests QFT performance and degree of positivity may be impaired with poorly controlled HIV replication and low CD4 cell count.
• Therefore, a positive QFT result, regardless of the absolute value (low or high) should prompt clinicians to evaluate for the treatment of LTBI.
