Abstract

Background/aims: To optimize the detection of infected persons and to treat latent tuberculosis infection are essential in patients taking part in a liver transplantation program. The tuberculin skin test is currently used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and has widespread usage. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hepatitis B and C viruses on tuberculin skin test results in patients taking part in the liver transplantation program in our center. Material and Methods: A total of 90 cirrhosis patients who participated in the liver transplantation program between January 2004 and February 2005 were included in this study. None of the patients displayed signs of active tuberculosis during the follow-up. Results: The mean indurations of the tuberculin skin test were found to be 14.7±6.9 mm in patients with a viral etiology and 6.1±5.4 mm in those with a non-viral etiology. The tuberculin skin test findings were significantly higher in end-stage liver disease caused by viruses than those with a non-viral etiology (p<0.05). The mean induration of the tuberculin skin test in Child B patients was found to be 7.15±6.4 mm, while in Child C patients it was 12.64±7.5 mm. In Child C patients, the tuberculin skin test scores were significantly higher than in Child B patients (p<0.05). Conclusions: These observations show the need for new methods to detect latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in liver transplant candidates. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for the higher tuberculin skin test results with a viral etiology and in Child C patients.

Özet

Amaç: Karaciğer transplantasyon programına başvuran hastalarda latent tüberküloz enfeksiyonunu tedavi etmek ve enfekte kişileri saptamak önem arzetmektedir. Yaygın bir kullanıma sahip olan tüberkülin deri testi Mycobacterium tuberculosis enfeksiyonunu saptamada kullanılır. Bu çalışmanın amacı merkezimizde karaciğer transplantasyon programında olan hastalarda hepatit B ve C virüslerinin tüberkülin deri testi sonuçlarına etkisini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem ve Gereç: Çalışmaya Ocak 2004 ve Şubat 2005 arasında karaciğer transplantasyon programına alınan 90 siroz hastası dahil edilmiştir. Takipleri boyunca hastalar aktif tüberküloz bulgusu göstermemişlerdir. Bulgular: Tüberkülin deri testi endurasyonu viral etyolojiye bağlı siroz hastalarında ortalama 14.7±6.9 mm, viral olmayan nedenlere bağlı siroz hastalarında ise 6.1±5.4 mm saptanmıştır. Tüberkülin deri testi sonuçları viral nedenli siroz hastalarında, viral olmayan nedenlere bağlı siroz hastalarına göre anlamlı yüksek bulunmuştur (P<0.05). Ortalama tüberkülin deri testi endurasyonu Child B hastalarda 7.15±6.4 mm, Child C hastalarda 12.64±7.5 mm olarak saptanmıştı r. Child C hastalarda Child B hastalara gore tüberkülin deri testi anlamlı yüksek bulunmuştur (P<0.05). Sonuç: Bu bulgular karaciğer transplantasyon adaylarında latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis enfeksiyonunu saptamak için yeni yöntemlere gereksinim olduğunu göstermektedir. Viral etyolojiye bağlı hastalarda ve Child C hastalarında yüksek tüberkülin deri testi sonuçlarının nedenlerini anlamak için ileri çalışmalara gerek vardır.
