Severe adverse events (SAEs) to
Tuberculosis (TB) treatment are rare but continue to be a public
health problem. In order to continue to determine risk factors and
to monitor trends of SAEs related to the treatment of Latent TB
Infection (LTBI), CDC requests approval to continue collecting SAE
reports through NSSAE. These reports are from healthcare providers
and health departments (local/state/territorial) from any of the 60
reporting areas for the National TB Surveillance System (NTSS)OMB
No.0920-0026, Exp. Date 3/17/2017. Data will be collected on each
occurrence of SAEs reported by healthcare providers through the
local and state health departments. Data collection is initiated
when a health department is notified of a person hospitalized with
severe adverse reactions to the medications prescribed to treat
LTBI. Since OMB approval of the NSSAE collection form 3 years ago,
the project officers have received 28 reports of SAEs.
US Code:

Changes in Burden are the
result of NSSAE data collection form previous 3 years and
estimation of severe adverse effects (SAEs) during the extension
approval period.
