coexistent renal failure. TB recurrence occurs in 6% of patients with very low recurrence after nephrectomy. Nephrectomy should be considered when there is a nonfunctioning or poorly functioning kidney, particularly in the setting of hypertension, as this can be cured in most patients in this setting.220,221 If ureteral obstruction occurs, procedures to relieve the obstruction are indicated. In cases of hydronephrosis and progressive renal insufficiency due to obstruction, renal drainage by stenting or percutaneous nephrostomy is advised. In one study of 77 patients with ureteral stricture, the rate of nephrectomy was higher (73% vs. 34%) in those who did not undergo ureteral stenting or nephrostomy in addition to anti-TB therapy.222 TB of the female or male genital tract responds well to standard chemotherapy, although surgery may be indicated for residual, large, tubo-ovar- ian abscesses. Unfortunately, infertility is common even after successful treatment.

INTRODUCTION

The syndemics of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) have been a dangerous and ongoing collision of one of the oldest and among the newest of human infectious diseases. They have resulted in mutually severe and challenging global consequences. The entry of HIV/AIDS into high-prevalence areas and populations with TB infection and disease has resulted in major secondary TB epidemics and deadly alterations in TB outcomes. Conversely, TB is the most common presenting illness among people living with HIV (PLWH), accelerating HIV disease progression and is the major cause of HIV-related deaths globally. These two epidemic diseases have been joined by an emerging and growing global epidemic of drug-resistant TB, associated with HIV, and threatening many recent exciting and beneficial TB and HIV advances.

We discuss the global and local epidemiology, clinical features, and recent selected advances and challenges in the prevention and treatment of TB/HIV disease. Rather than accepting the traditional separation of TB and HIV, we consider the barriers and challenges in the integration of TB and HIV efforts and, in so doing, the importance and benefit of a person-centered comprehensive approach to integration for individuals and communities impacted by both diseases. We provide evidence for progress in the integration of HIV and TB prevention, diagnosis, care, and treatment, but also identify gaps where more effort is needed. Full implementation of evidence-based components and World Health

Organization (WHO) advocated strategies are needed to improve outcomes of TB and HIV and to bring both closer to epidemic elimination.

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF THE CONVERGENT

TB AND HIV EPIDEMICS

Global scale and tends

TB is the ninth leading cause of death globally and has surpassed HIV as the leading cause of death from a communicable disease. The epidemiology of these convergent epidemic diseases illustrates their great clinical and public health challenges. TB remains the leading cause of death globally in PLWH. Globally, an estimated 10.0 million (range, 9.0–11.1 million) people fell ill with TB in 2018. A total of 10% of the incident cases of TB were estimated to occur in PLWH. There were an estimated 1.2 million (range, 1.1– 1.3 million) TB deaths among HIV-negative people in 2018 (a 27% reduction from 1.7 million in 2000), and an additional 251,000 deaths (range, 223,000–281,000) among HIV-positive people (a 60% reduction from 620,000 in 2000).1

The regional and national global distribution of TBand HIVcoinfection risks and rates vary greatly.

The global geographic and epidemiologic differences in the distribution of TB and of TB/HIV-coinfection are shown in Figures 15.1 and 15.2.

Figure 15.1  Estimated TB incidence rate, 2018.

Sub-Saharan Africa has borne the brunt of the converging epidemics with over 50% of TB incident cases co infected with HIV in many areas and harboring the highest prevalence and proportion of globally coinfected individuals.1 Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 72% of new TB cases among PLWH and 84% of global deaths from TB in people living with HIV. South Africa’s TB incidence, among the highest in the world, is now estimated as 520 per 100,000, with an estimated HIV prevalence of 60%–80% among newly diagnosed active TB cases.2 In Zulu speaking rural KwaZuluNatal, the diagnosis TB is so frequently accompanied by a second diagnosis of HIV/AIDS that their relationship is expressed in Zulu as:

“TB is the mother of AIDS”

In contrast to sub-Saharan Africa, India’s TB incidence in 2018 was 199 per 10,000, but with a much smaller estimated HIV prevalence of only 6.8%. In the countries of the former Soviet Union, although the TB incidence rates are lower, the proportion of cases that are HIV coinfected is substantially higher. For example, in 2018, the Russian Federation’s estimated incidence of TB was 55 per 100,000 with a higher estimated HIV prevalence of 11%. Although these selected estimated global rates have declined compared to the previous year,2 they remain dangerously high, volatile and challenging. The TBand HIV–coinfection rates are substantially lower in most countries in Western Europe. The TB incidence in the United States was 52.6/100,000 in 1953, the year national TB incidence surveillance began and steadily declined thereafter, except for a dramatic HIV-associated rise in the 1980s and 1990’s, and since has gratifyingly fallen to 2.8 per 100,000 by

2017.3 Among the 9,093 reported cases in the United States in 2017, HIV status was known for 86.3% and of these 5.6% or 509 had coinfection with HIV3

The emergence of drug-resistant TB and HIV

In the past two decades, the global growth of the convergent epidemics of TB and HIV has been joined by the recognition of a third epidemic of drug-resistant TB. In many geographic areas, this has also occurred in close association with HIV and has threatened and confounded advances in both TB and HIV elimination.

MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT AND EXTENSIVELY DRUGRESISTANT TB AND HIV

Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is defined as Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates resistant to at least isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (RIF).4 MDR-TB is either acquired by direct transmission or develops through incompletely treated or mutated and amplified initially sensitive M. tuberculosis. It is particularly problematic in countries of the former Soviet Union and Southeast Asia where populations have been devastated by this third convergent epidemic disease. In areas of sub-Saharan Africa, HIV-coinfection rates among those with MDR-TB are extremely high and mirror those of drug-susceptible TB. The three countries with the highest total burden of MDR-TB disease are China, India, and Russia, although their HIV-coinfection rates do not approach those of subSaharan Africa.1 The proportion of people in Eastern Europe living with MDR-TB and HIV coinfection rose by 40% between 2011 and 2015, driven by a sharp increase in the number of coinfections in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union.

Globally, among these populations, on average, an estimated 6.2% of people with MDR-TB have extensively-drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), defined as MDR-TB plus resistance to any fluoroquinolone and at least one of three injectable second-line drugs (amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin).5 Between 2005 and 2006, the largest known cluster of cases of XDR-TB was identified in a rural hospital in KwaZulu Natal, almost exclusively in PLWH.6 All patients identified with XDR-TB who were tested were co-infected with HIV, 55% had never been treated for TB, and 67% had previously been hospitalized, suggesting nosocomial transmission. Genotyping of isolates showed that 85% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 74–95) had the similar F15/LAM4/KZN genome, further supporting healthcare facility acquisition. Subsequent studies revealed the presence of XDR-TB in all nine South African provinces and in neighboring countries. A more contemporary study involving patients with XDR-TB from a broader area of KwaZulu Natal, revealed an HIV-coinfection rate in 77% of those with diagnosed XDR-TB and genotypic analysis revealed common cluster strains and person-to-person or epidemiologic links supporting transmission in 30% of participants.7 By 2016, 123 countries had reported cases meeting the XDR-TB case definition.8 Among these cases, rates of HIV coinfection varied widely from 60% in South Africa to fewer than 1% in the United States.

The global distribution and overlap of countries with the highest burden of incident cases and incidence rate/100,000 population

for overall TB and drug-resistant TB and HIV-associated TB are illustrated in Figure 15.3. Forty-eight countries appear in at least one category; there is clear overlap among countries in the three categories, and 14 countries (shown in the central diamond) are high burden in all three categories.

Drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB and HIV epidemics are a consequence of reactivation of latent TB infection (LTBI), treatment-related amplification of TB resistance mutations, and transmission of both susceptible and resistant TB strains. Each of these is important, adversely influenced by HIV, and their likelihood varies in distribution among different populations related to HIV prevalence and the local force of TB infection and disease as well as the strengths and weaknesses of accompanying social and health systems. As the global distribution of drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB and HIV varies dramatically and can be characterized as a mosaic of more local epidemics, a combined and integrated comprehensive but site appropriate and flexible approach to both diseases is critically needed.

In addition to the increased risk for transmission-related drugresistance among PLWH, factors such as malabsorption of antiTB drugs,9,10 altered drug metabolism, or drug interactions due to concomitant antiretroviral therapy (ART) may play a role,11 as may incomplete treatment resulting from unsuccessful medication adherence or system failures (i.e., drug stockouts or poor clinic functioning). Despite these important issues, the accumulating weight of evidence supports the view that the perpetuation and acceleration of drug-resistant TB epidemics is now associated with the transmission of resistant organisms.

Regardless of etiology, mortality among those with advanced MDR-/XDR-TB and untreated HIV is extremely high. Global surveillance data regarding drug-resistant TB outcomes, as well as a retrospective case control study of XDR-TB patients in South Africa,12 indicates that there are consistently higher death rates among those with both drug-resistant TB and HIV compared to those with drug-resistant TB alone. Furthermore, case control, observational and nested studies of randomized-control trials have demonstrated the great importance of reducing mortality in this population by earlier initiation and administration of ART.13

DRUG-RESISTANT TB AND HIV IN THE UNITED STATES

In the United States, a focal MDR-TB epidemic occurred between 1985 and 1992 in several cities. Studies showed that MDR/XDR was being spread in hospitals, jails, prisons, homeless shelters, residential AIDS facilities, and in other congregate settings where PLWH were exposed. A high proportion of MDR-TB cases in New York City and other sites were co-infected with HIV, and transmission was believed to be responsible for most infections. Mortality was exceedingly high, as most cases identified had far advanced TB and HIV disease and effective treatment for HIV had not yet become available.

Rates of drug-resistant TB have fallen steadily since then and remain relatively low in the United States as has the proportion co-infected with HIV. In 2016, MDR-TB drug-susceptibility testing results were reported for 98.3% of culture-confirmed TB cases.3 Among all 9,256 cases reported, only 97 (1.0%) were MDR-TB, including 78 (80.4%) cases with primary or transmitted
