11 Developing Better TB Tests In order to speed up the time it takes people to get a corrent TB diagnosis we need access to better TB tests. We also need to advocate for the development of new TB tests. In this article Javid Syed of New York s Treatment Action Group discusses improvements in TB testing technology that can save lives in the absence of a perfect TB test. The technologies discussed are only available in some pilot sites across South Africa and not in the public sector. As discussed in this issue of Equal Treatment, there are problems with the most common TB tests we use. Smear tests are simple but fail to diagnose TB in up to 50% of people co-infected with HIV and TB. TB culture tests are very good at getting the correct diagnosis but they require a lot of infrastructure and results take weeks. The perfect TB test would be one that is fast, cheap, easy to use and also able to detect smear-negative and drug-resistant TB. We don t have this tool yet and with current levels of funding we won t have one soon. There are, however, new tests that are an improvement over what we have now. We need access to these tools in our districts. 1. Fluorescent microscopes TB can be stained to make it glow brightly. This can improve how well the bacteria is seen under the microscope. This method is expensive and requires reliable electricity. Researchers are now developing a battery operated microscope. This method is only commercially available in South Africa. 2. The BACTEC MGIT (Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube) The MGIT is a TB culture testing machine. It can test for normal and drug-resistant TB. Studies show that the MGIT machine is correct in its diagnosis of positive TB samples almost 100% of the time. Results take two weeks. Unfortunately MGITs require reliable power and need skilled technicians and environmental controls to get correct results and keep workers safe. MGITs could be used on a regional level in partnership with safe and reliable transport and information systems. 3. MODS (Mycroscopically Observed Drug Susceptibility Test) This is a very similar system to the MGIT except the product is not restricted by patent. It is currently being standardised and tested for use in South Africa. 4. Hain MDR TB Plus This test is used to detect drug-resistant TB. This is a test that identifies isoniazid and rifampicin resistance from sputum and TB cultures. Results take only a couple of hours and it is currently being tested in South Africa. It is more accurate and speedy than culture tests for drug-resistant TB but only works in big central reference laboratories.

I am 44 years old and live in Extension 28 Vosloorus, Gauteng. In 2007 I had pains in my chest and I was coughing for about one month. Sometimes I also coughed up blood and I was losing weight. I went to the clinic and was given medicines for a chest infection. Two weeks went by but I did not get better. Instead I was losing strength and felt tired. I went back to the clinic and the nurse told me I had symptoms of TB. She gave me a sputum container at the clinic and one to fill at home the next morning. When I went back to the clinic for my results they told me that my results were smear-negative. Because I had the symptoms of TB the nurse decided to send my sputum for a TB culture test. I had to wait six weeks to get my test results. During this time I became worse. I coughed up blood and had sores in my mouth and throat. I went back to the clinic and I was given some medication to treat the sores while I was waiting for my test results. The nurse asked me to do an HIV test but I told her that I would come back for the test. I never did though because I am scared. After six weeks my culture test came back positive. I was started on TB treatment. I took my tablets every day for six months. It was difficult because I had bad side effects that were made worse because I drank a lot of alcohol. I already drank about six quarts a day before I started TB treatment. I still drank this much during my TB treatment. I had severe pain in my abdomen and problems with my liver. It was also hard for me to get to the clinic every day when I drank although most of the time I managed to make it. I still drink each day and now I am having symptoms of TB again. I have done a sputum test that is going to be cultured so I am waiting six weeks for the results. I am always tired and my chest is very painful. I am still trying to find the courage to get an HIV test. Source: Barclay, L BMC Pub. Health Kalafo 15
