1 CASE REPORT Zafar Iqbal*, Afsar Khan**, Arshad Javaid* *Department of Pulmonology, ** Programmatic Management of Drug Resistant TB Unit, Department of Pulmonology, Adress for correspondence: Dr. Zafar Iqbal Department of Pulmonology, ABSTRACT th Pakistan ranks at 4 number, in MDR-TB with estimated annual cases of 1300 among notified pulmonary TB cases. Unfortunately young children and infants are more at risk because of more attachment with elder and parents. We are reporting a rare case of MDR-TB in a 2 years boy. Key Words: MDR-TB; Child; Peshawar; Pakistan This case report may be cited as: Iqbal Z, Khan A, Javaid A. MDR-TB in a 2 years old boy. A Case Report. Pak J Chest Med 2015; 21(4): INTRODUCTION ultidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mresistant to isoniazid and rifampin. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that there were new MDR-tuberculosis cases worldwide 1 during Treatment outcomes are generally poor in adults, with favorable outcomes reported in only 2 60% of those receiving treatment. Even though childhood tuberculosis makes up 15% 20% of the 3 global tuberculosis burden, MDR-tuberculosis is poorly studied in children, the literature including 4-16 mainly case reports or small case series. The diagnosis of tuberculosis in young children is 17 challenging and often delayed. Symptoms and signs may be nonspecific, especially in children <3 years of age and in children infected with human immunodefi- 18 ciency virus (HIV). Because of the paucibacillary nature of childhood tuberculosis, a microbiological diagnosis is typically made in only 20% 40% of cases 19 with radiological evidence of intra thoracic disease. Because drug susceptibility testing (DST) is only possible following bacteriological confirmation, confirmed MDR-tuberculosis in children is infrequent. In the absence of a known MDR-tuberculosis source case, children are often initially treated for drugsusceptible tuberculosis, with MDR-tuberculosis treatment started only once treatment is failing, microbiological and DST results become available, or an MDR-tuberculosis source case is identified. Treating children with MDR-tuberculosis is complex. Few of the multiple drugs routinely used to treat MDRtuberculosis have been studied in children, and guidance on drug regimens, dosages, appropriate monitoring, and duration of therapy is frequently extrapolated from adult data. As young children metabolize drugs more rapidly than adults and 20 generally have paucibacillary disease, this may not always be appropriate. CASE REPORT A Two and half years kid who was fine and healthy till the age of one year. According to his literate parents and previous documents, one and a half years ago he developed axilliary and cervical lymph nodes swelling for which he was started in private sector on RHZ as st biopsy proven TB- lymph adenitis. After taking 1 line anti-tb drugs for more than one year, his condition deteriorated and lymph nodes started oozing pus. A Pediatrician added ciprofloxacin to RHZ which gave temporary relief in sense of lymph node swelling and oozing. But after one month again the swollen lymph nodes re appeared. We excised one of the lymph nodes and sent that tissue for AFB culture and sensitivity. AFB c/s report showed resistance to RHZ while Sensitivity to Ethambutol and all 2nd line anti-tb drugs. His HIV test was also non reactive. According to his parents, his two brothers and a sister have died at the age of 8, 6 & 2 years respectively, due to lymph adenopathy of different origins before his birth. Apart from this, no history of any type of PTB or ATT in the entire family. On receiving of this cute kid at our PMDT (programmatic management of Drug resistant TB) site, we enrolled him according to NTP (National TB control program) protocol and started on Cm (Capriomycine), 155
2 Z (Pyrazinamide), Lfx (Levofloxacine), Cs (Cycloserine), Eto (Ethionamide) along with Vit B6 (Pyridoxine) as a supportive drug. He is now under treatment and on his 2nd follow up he was much improved in sense of Lymph nodes swelling reduction, dryness and 2 kg weight gain. DISCUSSION MDR-TB treatment in children is guided by the same principles, using almost the same second-line drugs as in adults, with careful monitoring for adverse effects. Monitoring of a patient on second line anti tb therapy is essential not only from response to therapy but also to prevent adverse effects. Health workers should regularly check for common adverse effects such as rashes, gastrointestinal symptoms, psychiatric symptoms, jaundice, ototoxicity and peripheral neuropathy. Serum creatinine, potassium and hearing needs to be monitored monthly when giving an injectable agent. Thyroid function tests should be monitored if patient is on amino salicylic acid or a thionamide. Liver function tests need to be assessed for patients on Pyrazinamide. A check for myelosuppression should be done for patients on linezolid and eye examination is required for patients on Ethambutol. In principle, the duration of treatment in children is basically the same as for adults. Unfortunately there are only a limited number of reported cases documenting the use of second-line drugs in children over extended periods of time. The risks and benefits of each drug should be carefully considered when designing a regimen. An open discussion with family members is critical, especially at the outset of therapy. No anti-tuberculosis drugs are absolutely contraindicated in children, and the few cases available have reported that children with drug-resistant TB have generally tolerated second-line drugs rather positively. Although Fluoroquinolones have been shown to retard cartilage development in beagle puppies, experience with the use of Fluoroquinolones has not demonstrated similar effects in humans. The benefits of Fluoroquinolones in treating MDR-TB in children outweigh the risks, and Ethionamide, PAS, and Cycloserine have been shown both effective and well tolerated among pediatric patients. For older children who cannot swallow capsules, the capsules can be opened and dissolved in 10 ml water to aid administration.21 Among the group 4 drugs, thionamide and amino salicylic acid should not be given together in children due to increased incidence of hypothyroidism. In general, anti-tuberculosis drugs should be dosed according to body weight (see Table below; Pediatric dosage of second-line ant tuberculosis drugs). Monthly monitoring of body weight is therefore especially important in pediatric cases and dose adjustments should be made as healthy weight gain occurs. All drugs, including Fluoroquinolones, should be prescribed at maximum recommended dosage whenever possible, except Ethambutol which should be used at 15 mg/kg (not 25 mg/kg as sometimes used in adults with MDR-TB since it is more difficult to monitor for optic neuritis in children). In the above case Ethambutol has avoided due to the risk of optic neuritis though AFB C/s showed susceptibility. According to national and international guidelines Capreomycin is usually reserved for the treatment of XDR-TB. But as per decision of MDR expert panel (consist of mdr-tb physicians at every PMDT site) he was started on capriomycine instead of amikacine, due to less risk of ototoxicity. 156
3 In children who are not initially culture-positive or in extra pulmonary tb, treatment failure is difficult to assess. Persistent abnormalities on chest radiographs do not necessarily signify a lack of improvement. In children, weight loss, or more commonly failure to gain adequate weight, is of particular concern and often one of the first (or only). REFERENCES 8.

4 PEDIATRIC DOSING OF SECOND-LINE ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS MEDICATIONS General Considerations; Anti-TB drugs should be dosed according to weight and adjusted regularly as weight increases during treatment. When a liquid formulation is available, it should be used for patients less than 15 kg. Most second-line TB drugs do not have pediatric liquid or tablet formulations, so it may be necessary to split the pills in order to approximate the correct dose. To split tablets into 0.75, it is suggested to split the tablet in half and then split a half tablet in half. Discard the smaller quarter tablet and give the child a half tablet plus the remaining quarter tablet. Doses of most anti-tb drugs have not been established for children below 5 kg, but often the potential benefit outweighs the risks. In such cases, the child should be dosed as close to the middle of the mg/kg range as possible 158
5 Group Drug Daily dose Maximum daily dose 1 isoniazid (H) rifampicin (R) If 100 mg tab. For 5 kg.5 tab. From 6-9 kg 1 tab. From kg 1.5 tab. From kg 2 tab mg/kg for less than 30 kg mg/kg once daily for patients less than 30 kg. For 150 mg tablet: Body weight 5-7 kg.5 tab. From 8-12 kg -1 tab. From kg -1.5 tab.from kg -300 mg -1 tab If 300 mg Tab, 1 tab daily maximum dose. Children with malnutrition, peripheral neuropathy should also use pyridoxine 5-10 mg/day 600 mg ethambutol (E) mg/kg once daily 1200 mg pyrazinamide (Z) For 400 mg tab mg 5 6 kg tab 7 9kg tab 10 11kg-.75 tab kg-1 tab kg- 1.5 tab kg- 2 tab amikacin (Am) mg/kg once daily 1000 mg 2 kanamycin (Km) mg/kg once daily 1000 mg capreomycin (Cm) mg/kg once daily 1000 mg Example: Injectable dose calculation for a child weighing 6.9 kg Calculate the low and high doses for the child s weight. For kanamycin: Low dose: 15 mg/kg x 6.9 kg = 103 mg High dose: 30 mg/kg x 6.9 kg = 207 mg Choose a convenient dose between the two numbers. Select a dose between the two numbers and toward the higher number. In this case, 200 mg is a convenient dose. Calculate the number of ml to draw up in the syringe based on the mg/ml concentration of the preparation. levofloxacin (Lfx) Less than 5 years mg/kg twice daily Over 5 years mg/kg once 3 daily. moxifloxacin (Mfx) mg/kg once daily 400 mg Tab kg tab kg 0.50 tab ethionamide (Eto)/ mg/kg once daily 1000 mg 4 protionamide (Pto) cycloserine (Cs) mg/kg once daily 1000 mg PAS (4 g sachet) mg/kg two times daily 12 g 5 clofazimine (Cfz) 1 mg/kg once daily 200 mg co-amoxiclav (Amx/Clv) 80 mg/kg in 2 divided doses 4000 mg of Amx and 500 mg Clv Linezolid (Lzd) 10 mg/kg given three times daily (pyridoxine should also be given) 600 mg 159
