Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading infectious cause of mortality worldwide. While the overall prevalence of TB in the United States has declined in the general population, certain groups remain at high risk, including the homeless, those who are HIV seropositive, individuals with a history of alcohol or drug abuse, and immigrants from a country in which TB is endemic. Many recipients of psychiatric services possess 1 or more of these risk factors, and consequently TB may be overrepresented in this population. Conversely, psychiatric illness may develop subsequent to TB infection. Mood disorders seem to be particularly common in TB patients compared with those with other medical diagnoses. It is important that primary care physicians understand the high prevalence of mental illness in TB patients so that proper treatment provisions can be implemented. Likewise, it is important for psychiatrists to understand the clinical manifestations of TB so that when a patient presents with symptoms of TB proper precautions can be taken and appropriate referrals can be made. This article integrates information concerning mental illness in TB patients with diagnostic and treatment guidelines for TB. Brief suggestions are offered for the treatment of TB patients with comorbid mental illness.

  • Pharmacological treatment of TB in depression is particularly challenging in view of significant interactions between ATT and antidepressants.

    “Pharmacological treatment of TB in depression is particularly challenging in view of significant interactions between ATT and antidepressants.39”

    From Pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions for treatment of common mental disorders associated with Tuberculosis: A systematic review (2021) · cites this paper as [39]

    The treatment-concerns passage discusses potential interactions between isoniazid and antidepressants, supporting the need for care in treating comorbid TB and depression. But the Conclusion says there is no clinical evidence of interactions between isoniazid and any SSRI, so the claim overstates the interactions as significant and established.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
