Regional lymphadenitis is the most common complication following BCG vaccination in this country. The literature describes controversial results with medical, surgical and combined therpy. The purpose of this study is to clarify the therapeutic effect of isoniazid(INH) after surgical procedures. The early and late postoperative complications of 136 children with lymphadenitis following BCG vaccination at the Taegu Fatima Hospital between March 1985 and February 1996 were reviewed. In 90 children, INH was given for 3-4 days before operation and for 3 months after surgery. In the other 46 cases, INH was not given during the pre- or postoperative period. Surgical procedures were excision or incision and currettage according to the states of lesions. Postoperative complications were fluid accumulation, wound infection, sinus formation and others. Complication rates were 14.4 % in INH-treated group and 13.0% of INH-nontreated group. The difference was not significant. There was no recurrence or other late complication in either groups. The result suggest that surgical excision or incision and currettage are sufficient for the treatment of regional lymphadenitis following BCG vaccination and postoperative INH therapy is not necessary.

Background:N-acetyl transferase (NAT) inactivates the pro-drug isoniazid (INH) to N-acetyl INH through a process of acetylation, and confers low-level resistance to INH in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Similar to NAT of MTB, NAT2 in humans performs the same function of acetylation. Rapid acetylators, may not respond to INH treatment efficiently, and could be a potential risk factor, for the development of INH resistance in humans. Methods: To understand the contribution of NAT of MTB and NAT2 of humans in developing INH resistance using in silico approaches, in this study, the wild type (WT) and mutant (MT)-NATs of MTB, and humans, were modeled and docked, with substrates and product (acetyl CoA, INH, and acetyl INH). The MT models were built, using templates 4BGF of MTB, and 2PFR of humans. Results: On the basis of docking results of MTB-NAT, it can be suggested that in comparison to the WT, binding affinity of MT-G207R, was found to be lower with acetyl CoA, and higher with acetyl-INH and INH. In case of MT-NAT2 from humans, the pattern of score with respect to acetyl CoA and acetyl-INH, was similar to MT-NAT of MTB, but revealed a decrease in INH score. Conclusion: In MTB, MT-NAT revealed high affinity towards acetyl-INH, which can be interpreted as increased formation of acetyl-INH, and therefore, may lead to INH resistance through inactivation of INH. Similarly, in MT-NAT2 (rapid acetylators), acetylation occurs rapidly, serving as a possible risk factor for developing INH resistance in humans.

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the gene mutation patterns by the GenoType MTBDRplus (MTBDRplus) assay and the phenotypic drug susceptibility test (pDST) results of isoniazid (INH) and prothionamide (Pto). Methods: A total of 206 patients whose MTBDRplus assay results revealed katG or inhA mutations were enrolled in the study. The pDST results were compared to mutation patterns on the MTBDRplus assay. Results: The katG and inhA mutations were identified in 68.0% and 35.0% of patients, respectively. Among the 134 isolated katG mutations, three (2.2%), 127 (94.8%) and 11 (8.2%) were phenotypically resistant to low-level INH, high-level INH, and Pto, respectively. Among the 66 isolated inhA mutations, 34 (51.5%), 18 (27.3%) and 21 (31.8%) were phenotypically resistant to low-level INH, high-level INH, and Pto, respectively. Of the 34 phenotypic Pto resistant isolates, 21 (61.8%), 11 (32.4%), and two (5.9%) had inhA, katG, and both gene mutations. Conclusion: It is noted that Pto may still be selected as one of the appropriate multidrug-resistant tuberculosis regimen, although inhA mutation is detected by the MTBDRplus assay until pDST confirms a Pto resistance. The reporting of detailed mutation patterns of the MTBDRplus assay may be important for clinical practice, rather than simply presenting resistance or susceptibility test results.

연구배경 : Theophylline은 간세포내 cytochrome P-450 계열의 효소에 의해 거의 90% 정도 대사되는데, isoniazid, rifampicin 등 항결핵제틀은 미소체 효소계(microsomal enzyme system)에 영향을 미치어 theophylline과의 병용투여시 theophylline 대사에 변화를 일으킬수 있다. 방 법 : INH, RFP, EMB 및 PZA의 병합 요법이 theophylline의 약물동태에 미치는 영향에 대하여 Bayesian 방법을 이용하여 평가하였다. Theophylline을 투여중인 환자를 대상으로 3군으로 나누어, Group I를 대조군으로 하였으며, Group II는 INH, RFP, EMB 및 PZA를 병용 투여하였고, Group III는 INH, RFP 및 EMB을 병용 투여하였다. 모든 대상환자는 비흡연자로 간기능 및 신기능 검사상 정상 범위였으며 theophylline의 약물동태에 영향을 줄 수 있을 만한 약제를 복용한 환자는 제외하였다. 결 과 : 정상 대조군과 실험군들을 비교시, theophylline 소실률은 Group II와 Group III 모두 유의하게 감소하였으며(p<0.001), theophylline 반감기 역시 Group II와 Group III 모두 유의하게 증가하였다 (p<0.001). 그러나 Group II와 Group III간의 theophylline 소실률 및 반감기는 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 결과로 INH, RFP 및 EMB 등의 항결핵제와 theophylline 병용 투여시 theophylline 용량의 재조정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) are the most important drug for the treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mutations correlated to rifampicin and isoniazid-resistance have been detected in rpoB gene and katG gene, respectively. Of the rifampicin-resistant isolates, 90% showed mutations in rpoB gene at codon 507 to 533. Isoniazid-resistant isolates analysed had a mutation in katG at codon 315. The aim of this study is to develop a pyrosequencing-based approach for rapid detection of ripampin or isoniazid resistant M. tuberculosis based on characterization of all possible mutation in the target region. For this study, the DNA selected from 35 cases of MTB PCR positive clinical sample such as bronchial washing, sputum, and pleural fluid. RIF or INH resistant was analyzed by pyrosequencing data of rpoB and katG gene. 28 (80%) and 7 (20%) of 35 MTB PCR positive DNAs were occured rifampicin-sensitivity and resistant, respectively. For INH, 30 (85.7%) and 5 (14.5%) cases were detected isoniazid-sensitivity and resistant, respectively. When pyrosequencing analysis was compared with ABI sequencing analysis, both analysis were presented same result, but pyrosequencing analysis was more rapid than ABI sequencing analysis. In conclusion, we found that pyrosequencing technology offers high accuracy, specificity, short turn around time and a high throughput in detection of rifampicin or isoniazid resistance in M. tuberculosis.

연구배경: 결핵균 katG유전자내 463 codon의 돌연변이는 INH 내성과 관련이 있을 것으로 보고되고 있어서 INH 감수성 균주를 대상으로 katG 유전자내 463 codon의 돌연변이 발생빈도를 관찰하여 INH 내성과의 관련성을 밝히고자 하였다. 방법: INH 감수성 균주(MIC${\geq}\;0.2{\mu}g/ml$) 28주를 선정하여 DNA를 추출하여 katG 유전자내 463 codon을 포함하는 지역을 PCR로 증폭 합성하였다. PCR산물을 제한효소인 Msp I으로 처리하여 절단 여부를 관찰하였고 그리고 SSCP로 표준균주와 차이를 관찰하였다. 결과: INH 감수성 균주 28주 중에서 7주(25%)만이 제한효소 Msp I에 의해 절단 되었다. 절단되지 않은 21주(75%)는 SSCP에서도 표준균주와 다른 양상을 나타내었다. 제한 효소로 절단되지 않은 균주의 katG 유전자를 염기서열 분석한 결과 463 codon Arg(CGG)이 Leu(CTG)으로 치환 되어있었다. 결론: INH내성에 영향을 줄 것으로 추정 되고있던 katG 유전자 463 codon 돌연변이는 INH 내성과 무관한 것으로 판명되었다.

Resistance to isoniazid (INH), which is one of the most important drugs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis chemotherapy, has been associated with mutations in genes encoding the mycobacterial catalse-peroxidase (katG), the enoyl acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase (inhA), alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (ahpC), beta-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein synthase (kasA), and NADH dehydrogenase (ndh). In this study, we examined INH-resistance related genes in 50 INH-resistant and 24 INH-susceptible isolates by PCR-sequence analysis. In brief, mutations at the katG gene were found at codon 315 alone (2/50), at codon 463 alone (19/50), and both at 315 and 463 (29/50). However, while mutations at codon 315 were only detected in INH-resistant isolates, mutations at codon 463 were also detected in INH-susceptible isolates indicating mutations at 463 alone do not seem to confer resistance to INH. Similar to the case of katG 463, some of inhA mutations were also found among INH-susceptible isolates. For example, whereas mutations at 8 upstream of the start codon (UPS) and 15 UPS of the inhA gene were detected only in INH-resistant isolates, mutations at 101, 115, and 125 UPS were detected only in INH-susceptible isolates. Many different kinds of mutations were detected in INH­resistant isolates at ahpC, oxyR gene, and intergenic region of the oxyR-ahpC genes. Howerver, the mutations were not found oxyR and the intergenic regions in INH-susceptible isolates. No mutations were found at either kasA or at ndh gene among INH-resistant isolates. In conclusion, some of mutations such as katG 315, inhA promotor region, and oxyR-ahpC seem to be strongly related to INH-resistance. Currently we are developing a molecular diagnostic method based on these results.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a threat to public health and is the leading cause of death globally. Isoniazid (INH) is an important first-line agent for the treatment of TB considering its early bactericidal activity. Resistance to INH is now the most common type of resistance. Resistance to INH reduces the probability of treatment success and increases the risk of acquiring resistance to other first-line drugs such as rifampicin (RIF), thereby increasing the risk of multidrug-resistant-TB. Studies in the 1970s and 1980s showed high success rates for INH-resistant TB cases receiving regimens comprised of first-line drugs. However, recent data have indicated that INH-resistant TB patients treated with only firs-tline drugs have poor outcomes. Fortunately, based on recent systematic meta-analyses, the World Health Organization published consolidated guidelines on drug-resistant TB in 2019. Their key recommendations are treatment with RIF-ethambutol (EMB)-pyrazinamide (PZA)-levofloxacin (LFX) for 6 months and no addition of injectable agents to the treatment regimen. The guidelines also emphasize the importance of excluding resistance to RIF before starting RIF-EMB-PZA-LFX regimen. Additionally, when the diagnosis of INH-resistant TB is confirmed long after starting the first-line TB treatment, the clinician must decide whether to start a 6-month course of RIF-EMB-PZA-LFX based on the patient's condition. However, these recommendations are based on observational studies, not randomized controlled trials, and are thus conditional and based on low certainty of the effect estimates. Therefore, further work is needed to optimize the treatment of INH-resistant TB.
