In Indonesia, 2.4% of all new tuberculosis patients had multi-drug resistant disease (MDR-TB); an estimated 24,000 incidences. Historical case series of MDR-TB described a high frequency of cavitation and poor prognosis. The diagnosis of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) relies on raised levels of Aspergillus IgG antibodies, and detectable Histoplasma IgG antibodies are suspicious for chronic pulmonary histoplasmosis (CPH). We investigated whether MDR-TB patients might have concurrent CPH or CPA. This was a cross-sectional study with 50 MDR-TB patients. ELISA was used to detect Histoplasma IgG antibodies and lateral flow assay was used to detect Aspergillus IgG/IgM antibodies. Several other possible disease determinants were assessed by multivariate analysis. Of the 50 MDR-TB patients, 14 (28%) and 16 (32%) had positive Histoplasma or Aspergillus serology; six patients (12%) had dual antibody reactivity. Radiological abnormalities in positive patients included diffuse or local infiltrates, nodules, consolidation, and apical cavities, consistent with CPH and CPA. Patients with detectable fungal antibodies tended to have worse disease, and 4 of 26 (15.3%) died in the first 5 months of dual infection (p = 0.11 compared with no deaths in those with only MDR-TB). The criteria for the diagnosis of CPH and CPA were fulfilled in those with moderately and far advanced disease (13 of 14 or 93%) and 12 of 16 (75%), respectively. Damp housing was the only determinant associated with Histoplasma antibodies (PR 2.01; 95%CI 0.56–7.19), while pets were associated with the Aspergillus antibody (PR 18.024; 95%CI 1.594–203.744). CPA or CPH are probably frequent in MDR-TB patients in Indonesia and may carry a worse prognosis. |
