Abstract

Background

Acid-suppressant proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) and histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RA) are associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). However, it remains unclear whether this association is causal or coincidental.

Methods

Patients newly diagnosed with TB between 2000 and 2013 were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database. Each patient with TB was matched in a 1:10 ratio with patients without TB by age, sex, and index date. The time lags from the end of PPI or H2RA treatment to the index date, and respective cumulative doses in the 90 days before the index date, were analyzed for association with TB.

Results

The age (mean [standard deviation] 60.8 [17.3] years) and sex ratio (69.4% males) were comparable between patients with TB (n = 6002) and patients without TB (n = 60,020). Previous PPI or H2RA treatment was more frequently observed in patients with TB (16.6% vs. 8.9%, p < 0.001). Concurrent antacid therapy posed the highest risk for TB (odds ratio [OR] 4.21 for PPI and 2.24 for H2RA, both p < 0.0001), and the closer to the end of the therapy, the more likely TB was detected (p for trend: 0.0077 for PPI and 0.0145 for H2RA). The cumulative doses of antacid in the 90 days before TB had an inverse relationship with TB risk. PPI, used either alone or in combination with H2RA, conferred a higher risk of TB than H2RA alone.

Conclusions

Tuberculosis should be considered in symptomatic patients receiving or recently ceased antacid therapy with PPI or H2RA in TB endemic areas.
抑酸治疗与结核病的关联:与感染的因果关系还是巧合关系?
背景:抑酸质子泵抑制剂(PPI)和组胺-2受体拮抗剂(H2RA)与结核病(TB)风险增加相关。然而,目前尚不清楚这种联系是因果关系还是巧合。​每个结核病患者按年龄、性别和索引日期按1:10的比例与非结核病患者匹配。分析PPI或H2RA治疗结束至指标日期的滞后时间,以及指标日期前90天内各自的累积剂量与TB的相关性。结果结核患者(6002例)与非结核患者(6020例)的年龄(平均[标准差]60.8[17.3]岁)和性别比例(男性69.4%)具有可比性。既往PPI或H2RA治疗在结核病患者中更为常见(16.6% vs. 8.9%, p <;0.001)。同时进行抗酸治疗的患者发生TB的风险最高(PPI的比值比为4.21,H2RA的比值比为2.24,均为p <;0.0001),越接近治疗结束,越有可能检测到结核病(趋势p: PPI为0.0077,H2RA为0.0145)。结核前90天内抗酸剂的累积剂量与结核风险呈反比关系。PPI单独使用或与H2RA联合使用比单独使用H2RA产生更高的TB风险。结论在结核病流行地区,有症状的患者接受或近期停止使用PPI或H2RA抗酸治疗时应考虑结核病。
