We assessed adherence in an infant tuberculosis prevention trial in Kenya with a urine isoniazid metabolite-detecting dipstick. Ninety-seven infants had 155 assays performed; 77 (49.7%) were found to be positive despite caregiver-reported adherence. Positive assays were associated with maternal secondary education, HIV suppression and no reported missed doses in past ... Read more >>

A randomized controlled trial of isoniazid to prevent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in Kenyan HIV-exposed uninfected infants.

Sylvia M LaCourse, Barbra A Richardson, John Kinuthia, A J Warr, Elizabeth Maleche-Obimbo, Daniel Matemo, Lisa M Cranmer, Jerphason Mecha, Jaclyn N Escudero, Thomas R Hawn, Grace John-Stewart,

<h4>Background</h4>HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants in endemic settings are at high risk of tuberculosis (TB). For infants, progression from primary M. tuberculosis infection to TB disease can be rapid. We assessed whether isoniazid (INH) prevents primary Mtb infection.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a randomized non-blinded controlled trial enrolling HEU infants 6 weeks of age ... Read more >>

Infant TB Infection Prevention Study (iTIPS): a randomised trial protocol evaluating isoniazid to prevent M. tuberculosis infection in HIV-exposed uninfected children.

Sylvia M LaCourse, Barbra A Richardson, John Kinuthia, A J Warr, Elizabeth Maleche-Obimbo, Daniel Matemo, Lisa M Cranmer, Jaclyn N Escudero, Thomas R Hawn, Grace C John-Stewart,

INTRODUCTION:HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants in tuberculosis (TB) endemic settings are at high risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and TB disease, even in the absence of known Mtb exposure. Because infancy is a time of rapid progression from primary infection to active TB disease, it is important to define when ... Read more >>
