Cases Reported to the Canadian Tuberculosis Reporting System

Confirmed case

  • Laboratory confirmed case
    Cases with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex demonstrated on culture, specifically M. tuberculosis, M. africanum, M. canetti, M. caprae, M. microti, M. pinnipedii or M. bovis (excluding M. bovis BCG strain).
  • Clinically confirmed case
    In the absence of culture proof, cases clinically compatible with active tuberculosis that have, for example:
    1. chest x-ray changes compatible with active tuberculosis;
    2. active nonrespiratory tuberculosis (meningeal, bone, kidney, peripheral lymph nodes etc.);
    3. pathologic or post-mortem evidence of active tuberculosis;
    4. favourable response to therapeutic trial of antituberculosis drugs.

New and re-treatment cases of tuberculosis

  • New case
    No documented evidence or adequate history of previously active tuberculosis.
  • Re-treatment case1
    1. Documented evidence or adequate history of previously active TB which was declared cured or treatment completed by current standards, and
    2. At least 6 months have passed since the last day of previous treatment,* and
    3. Diagnosed with a subsequent episode of TB which meets the active TB case definition.

OR

  1. Documented evidence or adequate history of previously active TB which cannot be declared cured or treatment completed by current standards, and
  2. Inactive† for 6 months or longer after the last day of previous treatment,* and
  3. Diagnosed with a subsequent episode of TB which meets the active TB case definition.

* If less than 6 months have passed since the last day of previous treatment and the case was not previously reported in Canada, report as a re-treatment case. If less than 6 months have passed since the last day of previous treatment and the case was previously reported in Canada, do not report as a re-treatment case. Submit an additional “Treatment Outcome of New Active or Re-treatment Tuberculosis Case” form at the end of treatment.

† Inactivity for a respiratory tuberculosis case is defined as 3 negative tuberculosis smears and cultures with a 3 month duration of stability in serial chest radiographs or a 6 month duration of stability in serial chest radiographs. Inactivity for a nonrespiratory tuberculosis case is to be documented bacteriologically, radiologically, and/or clinically as appropriate to the site of disease.


1 Prior to 2008 in Canada, re-treatment cases were known as relapsed cases.

NOTE: Re-treatment cases are identified through the response to BOX 18 First episode of TB disease? on the Active Tuberculosis Case Report Form – New and Re-treatment. A response of “No” indicates a re-treatment case.

Reporting of cases to the CTBRS

  • Whether treatment was started or not, report all cases of tuberculosis diagnosed in Canada among the following groups:
    • Canadian citizens
    • Permanent residents
    • Refugees
    • Refugee claimants
  • For temporary residents (visitors, students and people granted work permits) and those foreign nationals who are in Canada illegally, report only those cases for which treatment was started in Canada. The province/territory where treatment starts is to report the case.

For country of birth, enter the appropriate numeric code found in Appendix A.

Year of arrival: For all foreign-born cases enter the year of arrival in Canada:

  • For temporary residents the year of arrival in Canada is the year of the most recent arrival; that is, for individuals who visit Canada frequently, then the arrival year of their most recent visit is the value that should be recorded.
  • For permanent residents, the year of arrival is the year he/she became a landed immigrant.

If the year of arrival is unknown, please enter 9999.

Immigration status at time of diagnosis: Immigration status at time of diagnosis is necessary to assess the effectiveness of the immigration TB screening program and to determine rates of disease within specific subgroups of the population.




Refugee - A person who is afraid to return to their home country because they may be harmed.

Refugee claimants - Refugee claimants are temporary residents in the humanitarian population category who request refugee protection upon or after arrival in Canada.

A Convention Refugee - A person who is living outside their home country or the country where they normally live, and who cannot return because of a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group.

Temporary residents -Temporary residents are in Canada legally and are, on a temporary basis, under the authority of a temporary resident permit. Temporary residents include foreign workers, foreign students, the humanitarian population and other temporary residents.


Section: Diagnosis

BOX 8: Provincial/territorial case date

Record the date that is used by your province/territory to determine the year in which the case will be reported.

Diagnosis: The diagnosis codes are based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-CA) version 9 or 10, depending on which coding structure your province/territory is using.

  • Record all appropriate ICD-CA code(s). See Appendix B.
  • If the patient’s TB is known to have affected multiple sites then report all of the sites separately using the ICD-codes.
  • For the purposes of reporting, miliary TB also includes disseminated TB.

BOX 9: Chest x-ray.

Record results obtained within one month before or after the start of treatment. Indicate normal, abnormal, not done or unknown.

  • If the x-ray is reported as abnormal, indicate whether it is cavitary or non-cavitary. Please do not report results from CT scan. If chest x-ray is normal and a subsequent CT scan shows cavities, this case is still to be reported as normal. The result is what is identified on the chest x-ray only

Section: Bacterial Status

BOXES 10: Microscopy.

For each type of specimen submitted for analysis, report the results of microscopy laboratory tests. If several examinations have been done, check positive if any one is positive.

  • If initial specimens of a certain type are negative and later ones are positive, report the specimens of that type as Positive.
  • Check Negative if the results of all examinations (or the only examination) were negative.
  • Check Not done if test is known not to have been done.
  • Check Unknown if it is not known if the test was performed, or if the results are not known for a reason other than pending results (e.g., result was lost or specimen contaminated), and no other specimens can be obtained.

BOXES 11: Culture.

For each type of specimen submitted for analysis, report the culture results. If several examinations have been done, check positive if any one is positive.

  • If initial specimens of a certain type are negative and later ones are positive, report the specimens of that type as Positive.
  • Check Negative if the results of all examinations (or the only examination) were negative.
  • Check Not done if test is known not to have been done.
  • Check Unknown if it is not known if the test was performed, or if the results are not known for a reason other than pending results (e.g., result was lost or specimen contaminated), and no other specimens can be obtained.

BOX 12: Case criteria.

Indicate whether the diagnosis was a clinical diagnosis only, or whether it was confirmed through culture.

NOTE:
In the event that diagnosis was confirmed with a positive culture, there should be an entry in BOX 11 indicating a positive culture.

NOTE:
Use of DNA amplification or PCR technology, rather than culture, to confirm a case is not standard practice and therefore unless culture is performed, indicate clinical diagnosis.

BOX 13: If initial positive culture – Antibiotic resistance?

For all positive culture cases for each drug listed indicate whether the sensitivity results were Susceptible, Resistant or Unknown. If the drug was not tested please check Not done.

If the test result is borderline resistant or sensitive, the isolate should be sent to another lab for repeat testing or sent to National Reference Centre for Mycobacteriology for genotyping of molecular targets.

Codes of drugs
EMB – Ethambutol
INH – Isoniazid
PZA – Pyrazinamide
RMP – Rifampin




Before submitting a notification, please wait until the results of the microscopy and/or cultures are available.

Section: Treatment Details

BOX 15: Date treatment started.

Indicate the date the treatment started in the order year, month and day (yyyy/mm/dd).

BOX 16: Initial drugs prescribed (check all that apply).

List all of the initial drugs prescribed.

BOX 17: Death before or during treatment?

Indicate if death occurred before or during treatment.

  • If patient died, provide the date of death in the format yyyy/mm/dd.
  • If patient died indicate one of the three following causes of death:
    • TB was the cause of death.
    • TB contributed to death but was not the underlying cause.
    • TB did not contribute to death.

Section: TB History/Case Finding/Risk Factors/Markers

BOX 18: First episode of TB disease?

Indicate No only if the individual has had a previous episode of TB disease. If the individual has had a previous diagnosis of latent TB infection (LTBI), indicate, Yes.

  • If the patient has had a previous episode of TB, indicate the year of the previous diagnosis. If the case represents a third or fourth episode, indicate the year of the most recent episode.
  • If the patient has had a previous episode of TB, indicate the country in which the previous diagnosis occurred.
  • If the patient has had a previous episode of TB, indicate whether the previous treatment cured the patient or was at least completed by marking Yes, No or Unknown. (see page 11 for a definition).
  • If the previous treatment outcome was cured or treatment completed indicate end date of previous treatment.
  • If the patient received previous treatment, indicate all drugs prescribed. If unknown, check Unknown.

BOX 19: Case finding.

Report the case finding (method of detection) which resulted in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Only one item per case should be filled in. If the method is not on the list, check “Other (specify)” and specify the method.

Post-mortem includes detection by review of a death certificate or at post-mortem examination.

BOX 20: Risk factors/Markers.

The collection of risk factor information is important to determine the relative contribution of each risk factor/marker to the total number of cases. In turn, this information will help guide the development of prevention and control strategies.

All patients with newly diagnosed TB should be strongly encouraged to undergo HIV serologic testing (see Canadian Tuberculosis Standards, 6th edition, Appendix G for rationale). These data are also needed to determine accurately, the trends in the rate of TB/ HIV co-infection.

HIV status:
Status can be self-reported test result if documentation is not easily accessible.
Indicate whether the HIV test was Positive or Negative:

  • If Positive, indicate year of 1st positive test.
  • If Negative, indicate year of last negative test.

If HIV status is unknown, choose one of the three options:

  • Test refused
  • Test not offered
  • Unknown

For each of the remaining markers listed indicate Yes, No or Unknown. Definitions for some risk factors are provided below.

NOTE:
If the reporting province/territory has an alternate definition for the risk factors, it is appropriate to continue using the provincial/territorial definition.

End-stage renal disease: End-stage kidney disease (also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD)) is defined as a complete or near complete failure of the kidneys to function to excrete wastes, concentrate urine, and regulate electrolytes.

Homeless: Lacks a fixed, regular and adequate night-time residence and has a night-time residence that is:

  • A supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations;
  • An institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized;
  • A public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings. (This does not include prisoners. It is interpreted to include only those persons who are literally homeless, i.e. on the streets or in shelters and persons who face imminent eviction, within a week, from a private dwelling or institution and who have no subsequent residence or resources to obtain housing http://www.nationalhomeless.org/publications/facts/Whois.pdf. This link will take you to another Web site (external site) )

Previous abnormal chest x-ray: To indicate yes, there has to be evidence on the x-ray of fibronodular disease.

Substance abuse (known or suspected): The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) issued by the American Psychiatric Association defines substance abuse as:

A maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by one (or more) of the following, occurring within a 12-month period:

  • Recurrent substance use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home (e.g., repeated absences or poor work performance related to substance use; substance-related absences, suspensions or expulsions from school; neglect of children or household);
  • Recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (e.g., driving an automobile or operating a machine when impaired by substance use);
  • Recurrent substance-related legal problems (e.g., arrests for substance-related disorderly conduct); and/or
  • Continued substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of the substance (e.g., arguments with spouse about consequences of intoxication, physical fights)

Travel to high incidence TB country in last 2 years: Indicate if the patient has traveled to any of countries listed in Appendix C, within the last 2 years. (NOTE: This list will be updated on an annual basis).

  • If the patient has traveled to any of the countries listed, indicate the total length of stay, in the countries in weeks.



Example 1: Mr. Smith travels to Panama for 6 days and then on to Colombia for another 15 days. Both countries are on the list therefore his total length of stay in high incidence countries would be 3 weeks.

Example 2: Mrs. Jones travels to London (a country not indicated on the list) for 7 days, and then goes to Romania for 7 days. Her total length of stay in high incidence countries would be 1 week.

Other risk factors: Includes: (based on Canadian Tuberculosis Standards, 6th edition)

  • Abnormal chest x-ray - granuloma
  • Carcinoma of the head and neck
  • Cigarette smoker (≥1 pack/day)
  • Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency disorders
    • The attending physician will determine if the condition should be considered a risk factor for TB.
  • T-cell lymphoma
  • Recent TB infection (≤ 2 years)
    • As confirmed with Tuberculin skin testing (TST) or Interferon gamma release assays (IGRA)
  • Silicosis
  • Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor
  • Underweight (in most people defined as BMI ≤ 20)
  • Young age when infected (< 5 years)

Treatment Outcome of a New Active or Re-treatment Tuberculosis Case

This form is to be completed twelve months after the date of diagnosis by the province/territory that initially reported the case. Please complete this form even if treatment is still in progress after twelve months. Report the status at twelve-month intervals until the case is closed.

Jurisdictional Responsibility:

If a TB patient for whom a case report exists moves from one reporting area to another (e.g. from province/territory A toprovince/territory B), the responsibility for submitting the outcome remains with the province that initially reported the case (e.g. province/territory A). This responsibility remains with the initial area for surveillance purposes only, in order to minimize duplication of case reports and to simplify the reporting of the final outcome of the case. In other words, province B will be managing and following the patient but will need to share follow-up surveillance information with province A. Province A will officially submit follow-up information to the Public Health Agency.

Completion of Form:

Please complete all fields as allowed within the privacy laws of your reporting province/territory.

BOX 1: Reporting province/territory.

The province/territory that originally reported the case should report the outcome.

BOX 2: Register case number.

For each individual case, please ensure that the register case number on the outcome form matches the register case number on the new and re-treatment case form.

BOX 3: Unique identifier.

This number uniquely identifies the person. The unique identifier on the outcome form must match the unique identifier on the case form.

BOX 4: Date of birth.

Indicate the year, month and day of birth for the patient (i.e.1968/04/26). A complete date of birth is requested. If only the year of birth is known, enter 99 for month, 99 for day and the four digit year. If the entire date of birth is unknown enter 9999/99/99.

BOX 5: Sex.

Male or Female. Check the appropriate box for the self-identified sex of the patient at the time of diagnosis.

BOX 6: Province/territory of treatment.

If transfer from diagnosing province/territory, please state the treating province/territory. If diagnosing province/ territory unknown, please indicate.

BOX 7: Register case number.

If different from the number reported in BOX 2.

BOX 8: Unique identifier.


If different from that reported in BOX 3.

BOX 9: Provincial/territorial case date

Record the date used by your province/territory to determine the year in which the case will be reported. It must be the same date as appeared on the initial case report form.

BOX 10: Date treatment started.

Indicate the first day the patient received treatment.

BOX 11: Last day of treatment.

Indicate the last day the patient received treatment for the current episode.

Date treatment started and last day of treatment is meant to include the entire period (including interruptions in therapy) during which the patient was receiving medication to treat TB disease.

BOX 12: Did resistance develop during treatment?

If resistant did develop, indicate all drugs to which the individual showed resistance.

If the test result is borderline resistant or sensitive, the isolate should be sent to another lab for repeat testing or sent to National Reference Centre for Mycobacteriology for genotyping of molecular targets.

BOX 13: What was the treatment outcome?

Please check the appropriate box.

Cure: Culture-negative at the completion of treatment.

For MDR-TB (resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampin) the patient has been consistently culture-negative (with at least five results) for the final 12 months of treatment. If there was only one positive culture with no clinical evidence of deterioration, a patient may be considered cured provided that the positive culture is followed by at least three consecutive negative cultures taken at least 30 days apart.

Treatment completed: Completed treatment but does not meet the criteria for cure or failure.

Death before or during treatment: Death before treatment or during the course of treatment:

  • If patient died, provide the date of death in the format yyyy/mm/dd.
  • If patient died indicate one of the three following causes of death:
    • TB was the cause of death.
    • TB contributed to death but was not the underlying cause.
    • TB did not contribute to death.

Transfer: a patient who has transferred out of country and the outcome of treatment is not easily obtained.

Treatment failure(active TB): Positive sputum cultures after 4 or more months of treatment or 2 positive sputum cultures in different months during the last 3 months of treatment, even if the final culture is negative and no further treatment is planned.

  • For MDR-TB (resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampin), treatment is considered to have failed if: 2 or more of 5 cultures recorded in the final 12 months are positive; or any one of the final 3 cultures is positive; or if a clinical decision has been made to terminate treatment early due to poor response or adverse events.
  • Treatment discontinued due to adverse event: This includes adverse drug reaction, sensitivity to drugs, or any other case where the patient was unable to tolerate the prescribed medication.

Absconded: Lost to follow-up before completion of 80% of recommended doses.

Other: Please specify the outcome in the space provided.

BOX 14: Treatment regimen (for drugs taken ≥ 1 month).

Please check the appropriate box(es).
This information is needed even though Initial Drugs Prescribed appears on the Active Tuberculosis Case Report Form to document the actual regimen used.

BOX 15: Major mode of treatment.

Please check the appropriate box. If ‘Other’, please specify in the space provided. If the mode of treatment was Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) indicate DOT on the form. If available, please indicate whether it was Modified DOT, Standard DOT or Enhanced DOT.

DOT (Directly observed therapy): Therapy where the patient is observed swallowing each dose of medication.

  • Modified DOT refers to DOT for only part of the treatment period, typically during the initial phase, followed by self-administered therapy during the continuation phase.
  • Standard DOT refers to DOT throughout the initial phase and the continuation phase.
  • Enhanced DOT refers to DOT throughout both phases but also includes incentives and enablers.

BOX 16: Adherence estimate.

Please check the appropriate box indicating the extent of the patient's adherence to treatment based on the percentage of prescribed medication actually received.

In the event that the patient died during treatment, the adherence estimate will be the proportion of the amount of medication taken over the amount prescribed up to the time of death.

EXAMPLE 1: Patient on TB meds. Patient dies 2 months after treatment started. Prescribed treatment would have taken 6 months to complete. Before the patient died she took all meds that were given. Adherence estimate would be recorded as 100%

EXAMPLE 2: Patient prescribed TB meds. Patient dies 2 months after treatment started. However patient only took 1/3 of all drugs that were given and refused to take the rest. Adherence estimate would be recorded as <50%.


BOX 17. Contact investigation results:

NOTE: The collection of the contact investigation data will only begin in 2012

Report only for contacts of infectious (smear positive, and either nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) positive or culture positive) cases. As defined in the Canadian Tuberculosis Standard, 6th edition, infectious indicates that the patient can transmit infection to other by virtue of the production of infectious aerosols. Those with sputum smear-positive cavitary and laryngeal disease are the most infectious.




Contact: a person identified as having come in contact with a case of active disease. The degree of contact is usually further defined on the basis of closeness. Contacts may be classified as close, casual, or community.

Please indicate:

The number of contacts identified

The number of contacts that were:

Close,
Casual
Community

CLOSE CONTACTS includes:

  • Close household contacts are those who live in the same household as the infectious case. Household contacts are considered by definition to share breathing space on a daily basis with the source case.
  • Close non-household contacts are those who have regular, prolonged contact with the source case and share breathing space daily but do not live in the same household. These include regular sexual partners and close friends.

CASUAL CONTACTS are those who spend time less frequently with the infectious case. These may include classmates, colleagues at work or members of a club or team.

COMMUNITY CONTACTSare those living in the same community or attending the same school or workplace.

1) Total number of contacts identified

2) The number of contacts evaluated

For more details please see:

  • Canadian Tuberculosis Standards, edition 6, Chapter 12 page 259-260
    http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/tbpc-latb/pubs/pdf/tbstand07_e.pdf

Evaluation, as set out in the Canadian Tuberculosis Standards, has determined:

  • Type and intensity of contact
  • Risk of progression if infected
  • TST for contacts where active disease ruled out
  • Presence of symptoms
  • History of any previous treatment for TB or LTBI

ALSO:

  • If active disease is not present, contact should have received a TST.
  • For contacts of HIV-TB co-infected patients HIV counselling and testing should have been offered.
  • If initial skin test was done < 8 weeks of last exposure to infectious case and is negative, a second skin test should be carried at least 8 weeks after contact was broken.

3) The number of active TB cases found among the contacts.
4) The number of contacts diagnosed with LTBI.
5) The number of contacts beginning treatment.
6) The number of contacts completing treatment.
