1989: Strategic Plan for Elimination of Tuberculosis in US
Goal: TB incidence 1 case per 1,000,000 population by 2010
How have we done to date? 2016 TB Surveillance Report
Arkansas : 30 cases per million United States: 29 cases per million

Step 3 in 1989 Plan (Screen for LTBI):All U.S. residents should have the results of at least one tuberculin skin test in their medical records, and those whose test result is positive should be evaluated and counseled regarding their risk of developing tuberculosis

What is a TB Genotype Cluster ?
• Two or more cases with a matching genotype
• Usually suggests recent transmission (< 5 years)

• A 20‐month old child not identified as contact to grandma August 2014• But, 2 older siblings were screened and initiated LTBI treatment June 2014• Child admitted community hospital Jan 10‐13, 2015 treated for pneumonia• Re‐admitted for febrile seizures Jan 14, 2015; evacuated to Little Rock• Child died of TB meningitis on Jan 19, 2015; culture confirmed positive with

Origin of Tuberculosis (TB) Cases among Marshallese in Arkansas; 2014–2015 (N = 23)
• The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) consists of 29 atolls each made up of many islets and 5 islands in the central Pacific
• Total land area is about 70 square miles• Mean height of land is about 7 feet above sea level• Majuro Atoll (capital) consists of 25,000 people and only
• Incidence of TB in this community was significantly higher than the rest of the state with case rate of 230 per 100,000 Marshallese compared to only 3.1 per 100,000 Arkansans and 3 per 100,000 US in 2014.
• Evidence indicates that some Marshallese rapidly reactivate with TB soon after arrival; others arrive with active disease.
• Marshallese Consulate has no reliable mechanism for determining the population of current Marshallese and new arrivals; intent should be to promote Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) initiatives to screen them for TB in a timely fashion.
• Arkansas has limited resources to screen 6,000 people, and then to manage the follow‐up on approximately 1,800 latent TB infections (LTBI), based on an estimated 30% positivity rate in this community; will include additional active cases.
• Current outreach team has a nurse and 3 outreach workers. An additional 4 nurses, 4 outreach workers, and 4 administrative assistants are needed to screen and treat TB in this population.
Discussion (2)
• Marshallese in Arkansas comprise 14% of the estimated 70,000 Marshallese worldwide; Arkansas should be grandfathered in the Compact of Free Association for access to resources.
• Major industries in the area should consider partnering with ADH to facilitate pre‐employment screening and follow‐up treatment of cases and LTBI.
• Springdale school district is ready and willing to participate in screening and case management initiatives.
• Opportunities for screening have been missed in the immunization programs; emphasis should be placed on identifying at‐risk children.
• Health literacy strategies need to be developed considering the health belief models of this population.
• Marshallese live in crowded conditions in Arkansas, similar to their situation in the RMI, promoting intense transmission.

The Threat of Tuberculosis Transmission Among the US‐born: Lessons from Two Outbreaks, Arkansas

• Forty-four percent of TB cases in Arkansas are in genotype clusters, based on spoligotyping and MIRU-24 loci.
• In recent years, TB transmission is occurring in hard to reach homeless population, and lately a TB outbreak associated with a night club was identified.
• In this report, we describe characteristics of the two clusters and lessons learned.
Background
• Homeless persons at increased risk for TB
• Crowding in homeless shelters
• Tracking homeless persons difficult
• Regulations pertaining to TB screening in shelters are lax
