Nutrient partitioning during treatment of tuberculosis: gain in body fat mass but not in protein mass

Abstract: Microbiological cure of tuberculosis does not restore PM within 6 mo, despite a strong anabolic response. Change in the p-ratio is a suitable parameter for use in studying the effect of disease on body composition because it allows transformation of such effects into a normal distribution across a wide range of baseline proportion between fat and protein mass.

“…38 Nurses should take particular note of underweight tuberculosis patients, recognizing that being underweight is a risk factor for relapse and encouraging aggressive nutritional support. 39 Also, because functional recovery often lags behind microbiological cure, the aim of nutritional intervention should be to restore lean tissue. 23,39 Nurses should also encourage patients to engage in physical activity to counter the loss of muscle mass and subsequent fatigue.…”

“…39 Also, because functional recovery often lags behind microbiological cure, the aim of nutritional intervention should be to restore lean tissue. 23,39 Nurses should also encourage patients to engage in physical activity to counter the loss of muscle mass and subsequent fatigue. Advocating for a nutritionist and physical therapist to evaluate a patient with tuberculosis to make patient-specific recommendations would be an appropriate action for nurses.…”

“…Wasting has been associated with infection in humans (Macallan 1999, Paton & Ng 2006, ruminants (Harris & Barletta 2001), and fish (MacKenzie 1988, Inglis et al 1993) among others. Once called 'consumption,' the mechanisms behind the loss of body mass associated with tuberculosis are poorly understood but may reflect decreased appetite, altered metabolism, and demands of the inflammatory and immune response (Schwenk et al 2004). Johne's disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp.…”

“…Diversas razones podrían explicar el aumento de peso durante el tratamiento antituberculoso, entre ellas, el aumento del apetito e ingesta de alimentos, la reducción de las demandas de energía y la mejora de la eficiencia metabólica entre otras (11,12) ; aunque la ganancia de peso está limitada al aumento de tejido graso (13,14) . Sin embargo, también se debe tomar en cuenta que en los beneficiarios del PANTBC está inherente el aporte nutricional de la canasta alimentaria.…”
