INTRODUCTION
Purpose of the Tuberculosis (TB) Response Plan
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) TB Program is
committed to providing treatment and control of TB in order to protect the public health. The
purpose of this plan is to ensure comprehensive and prompt response to exceptional TB
circumstances, especially in those areas of the state with insufficient staffing, funding, or
expertise to respond quickly without assistance. The plan also provides for tracking and
reporting of TB issues.
Defining "Exceptional Circumstance" Requiring Activation of TB Response Plan
The principle function of the CDPHE TB Program is to support local efforts to discover,
interrupt, and prevent TB transmission. Because of the low incidence of TB in Colorado-fewer
than 3.5 cases per 100,000-the public-health apparatus for finding TB and for investigating
contacts has been reduced to a minimum in many parts of the state. The investigation of a single
case in some counties can quickly exhaust available resources, resulting in "an urgent need for
assistance or relief." Thus, the definition of an "exceptional TB circumstance" in Colorado
depends on the detection of active TB or latent TB infections that meet one or more of the
following criteria:
Due to the setting, the risk level of the population involved, or the number of cases, active
TB or latent TB infections, pose a serious risk of further TB transmission.
The capacity of a local public health agency is overwhelmed by the scope of the
comprehensive response necessary to "ascertain the existence of all cases of TB in the
infectious stages and to ascertain the sources of such infections" (C.R.S. 24-4-506).
The local health authority deems, in consultation with CDPHE, that activation of the
response plan would be in the best interest of the public.
Examples of exceptional TB circumstances that may prompt activation of the TB Response Plan:
• A patient with infectious TB is suspected or known to have Mycobacterium tuberculosis
resistant to isoniazid and rifampin (multidrug-resistant TB/MDR TB).
• Persons with HIV infection or other immune-compromising conditions are suspected or
known to be exposed to a case of infectious TB.
• A child five years of age or less with confirmed TB for which a source of infection is not
discovered after source investigation.
• An increase in the number of cases over time or in a particular area is considered significant
by a local public health worker or by CDPHE personnel.
• A genotype cluster is considered to indicate ongoing transmission.
• Extensive TB transmission is confirmed or suspected. These situations may involve
workplaces, schools, unconventional social networks, or other circumstances in which
screening for TB disease and infection involves large numbers of people or in which multiple
cases are suspected.
• A TB case generates a great deal of public interest or political pressure.
THE TB RESPONSE TEAM
All initial TB Response activities are the responsibility of TB Program staff, in collaboration
with local public health authorities. Other Disease Control and Environmental Epidemiology
Division (DCEED) staff maybe called upon at the discretion of the Director to assist or provide
additional support to the TB Response Team or local public health agencies. The purpose of the
TB Response Team is to ensure a comprehensive and prompt response to exceptional TB
circumstances, especially in those areas of the state with insufficient staffing, funding, or
expertise.

Officer, Accounts Manager, Epidemiologists, etc.). Duties may include assistance with
procuring additional funding resources, setting up emergency purchase orders, assisting local
public health agencies with contact investigations, patient interviews, translation interpretation
for persons with limited English proficiency, medication or specimen transport, form completion,
etc.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Staff
Assistance maybe requested from CDC such as in the event of extensive, confirmed or suspect
TB transmission involving workplaces, schools, unconventional social networks, or other
circumstances in which screening for TB disease and infection involves large numbers of people
or in which multiple cases are suspected. The Epidemiology Intelligence Surveillance (EIS)
Officer or other designated CDC health advisors may be needed to provide further consultation
and assistance.
ACTIVATION OF TB RESPONSE PLAN
CDPHE TB Program staff will review information as reported from an outside source (after
review by local public health authorities} or as reported directly by local public health
authorities. The TB Program staff will then meet to evaluate the suspected cluster or reported
crisis to determine if the event meets the "exceptional TB circumstance" criteria specified above.
If so, the CDPHE TB Program staff, in consultation with DCEED Director, local public health
authorities, and other TB experts (as needed}, will make a final determination of "exceptional TB
circumstance" status and the TB Response Plan will be activated.
How the TB Response Team Learns of Exceptional TB Circumstances
The TB Program conducts ongoing surveillance of reported TB cases. Analysis of routine TB
surveillance data and discussions at weekly case management meetings may reveal a suspected
cluster or a situation that poses a serious risk of further TB transmission. Additionally, the local
public health agency may identify an urgent need for assistance or relief and request assistance
from the TB Response Team.
When an exceptional TB circumstance is discovered or reported to the TB Program, a "TB
Response Report" (Appendix A) will be completed by the person receiving the information. The
report will be given immediately to the TB Response Team Leader for further review.
Additional information may need to be obtained from the local public health agency staff to
assist with evaluation of the TB situation. Communications with the local public health agency
staff will be initiated by the TB Response Team Leader, in collaboration with the DCEED
Director.
TB Response Team Evaluates Exceptional TB Circumstances
The Team Leader will inform the TB Response Team of an exceptional TB circumstance.
Details regarding the situation will be shared with TB Response Team members and reviewed to
6
determine whether it meets the definition of an exceptional TB circumstance. If so, the TB
Response Team will initiate a request for activation of the TB Response Plan.
Declaration of a TB Response Plan Activation
The DCEED Director will be responsible for declaring the need to activate the TB Response
Plan as appropriate. Depending upon the type of response needed, duties will be assigned
consistent with predetermined responsibilities of the team.
Internal and External Communications
The DCEED Director will be responsible for informing the CMO (303) 692-2662 and the
Director of Office of Communications (303) 692-2013 of new or updated information, as
appropriate. The Office of Communications will be responsible for preparing news articles and
for arranging TV interviews, radio interviews, and other public announcements. The TB
Response Team members maybe asked to assist by providing general information as requested.
Once the plan is activated, the TB Response Team will meet on a regularly scheduled basis, at a
frequency determined at the initial evaluation meeting, in order to maintain internal
communications with regard to the status of all TB response activities. The TB Response Team
Leader will be responsible for ensuring that meeting notices, locations and times are distributed
to all team members, with assistance by TB Response Team support personnel. Each team
member will have an opportunity at each meeting to report on his/her progress, new findings, or
to ask questions.
Each TB circumstance will be evaluated by the TB Response Team on a case-by-case basis to
determine whether a special "hotline" should be activated at CDPHE to enhance external
customer communications. Ahotline can be used to provide pre-recorded information and/or
serve as a devoted telephone line for callers seeking information specific to an exceptional TB
circumstance. If it is determined that a hotline is needed, the DCEED Director will obtain
approval for the hotline and assist in developing apre-recorded telephone message. The
Telecommunications Manager at (303) 692-2117 can assist in setting up a local telephone line in
approximately 30 minutes or a wide area telephone system (WAYS) line in two days. Local
telephone lines include:
• "Call-in line" primarily used for short, pre-recorded messages. Customers can leave a
voicemail message if they have further questions.
• "Call box" for longer, pre-recorded messages and a telephone tree that directs the caller to
other extensions for additional information. A call box can also track the number of calls
made to that number.
The hotline pre-recorded message will be reviewed at least weekly by TB Response Team and
revised updated as needed.
TB Response Team members will maintain open communications with public health agencies
and private providers, in collaboration with the DCEED Director. This includes routine
telephone consultation or conference call on an "as-needed" basis. All information received by
the TB Program from outside sources, should be channeled through local health agencies.
The Team Leader will discuss exceptional TB circumstances with the TB Elimination
Cooperative Agreement Project Officer at CDC, Division of TB Elimination (404) 639-8126.
The TB Response Team will provide recommendations with regard to guidance or assistance
needed by CDC and relay these requests to the TB Response Team Leader.
RESPONSES OF TB RESPONSE TEAM
TB Responses
Each exceptional TB circumstance must be individually evaluated to determine the scope of
assistance needed by the TB Response Team. Not every response will require the same actions.
Possible responses include:
• Monitor events through the Team Leader and Public Health Nurse Consultant
• Request additional information from the local agency through the Team Leader or designee
• Designate a team member to provide telephone consultation to the agency involved
• Establish authority, in collaboration with local public health agencies, for implementing
interventions and strategic programmatic changes (see "Responsibilities of Local Public
Health Agency")
• Provide prompt internal and external communications to the extent needed in each situation
• Provide weekly TB epidemiological analysis reports
• Ensure availability of appropriate laboratory testing, including DNA fingerprinting and
specimen transport, for purposes of prompt diagnosis and epidemiological investigation
• Provide documentation and written reports with regard to TB Response Team activities as
needed and as requested by DCEED Director, or CDPHE senior management
• Provide onsite assistance and consultation to the local public health agency, as resources
allow. This includes, but is not limited to, assigning one or more members of the TB
Response Team to investigate contacts, conduct intensified surveillance, collect and/or
transport specimens, apply TB skin tests, assist with implementing appropriate engineering
controls, occupational hazard evaluation, etc.
• Provide public speaker(s) to address affected citizens' groups (e.g. parents, employees,
employers, schools, organizations)
• Assist local public health agencies arrange for resources needed at the local level (e.g.
personal protection supplies, interpreters, translated patient education materials, quarantine
facilities, laboratory resources, packaging and distribution of mass drug orders) as resources
allow
• Request emergency supplemental funding from CDC or attempt to find additional funding
resources needed for TB response activities
• Other actions as recommended by CDC
• No further action
All activities will be conducted in compliance with state statues (C.R.S. 25-4-501-513) and may
require additional assistance from other DCEED staff. If so, the DCEED Director will authorize
specific staff and duties needed for the TB response.
Other persons involved in the TB response (e.g. Epidemiology Intelligence Surveillance (EIS)
Officer, if one is available at CDPHE) maybe included in all TB Response Team meetings and
activities.
Other Responsibilities
The TB Response Team will review and update the TB Response Plan on an annual basis and
update/revise as needed. Other DCEED staff may be required to provide TB response assistance
and will receive training as needed.
LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES
Establish Authority
It is the responsibility of the CMO and local public health agencies in Colorado to conduct
activities in order to discover, interrupt, and prevent TB transmission in their counties, through
contractual agreements with the TB Program at CDPHE. In the event of an exceptional TB
circumstance, however, authority for local TB control efforts must be established, based on
availability and ability of the local resources to implement interventions and strategic
programmatic changes needed to interrupt TB transmission. Such decisions will be made in
collaboration with local public health authorities. Authority may remain solely with the local
public health agency, other persons designated to direct activities at the local level (e.g. EIS
Officer), or to a member of the TB Response Team.
All counties in Colorado have designated persons who should be contacted in the event of an
exceptional TB circumstance. Such persons have agreed to be responsible for sharing
information to others in their agencies or communities, as appropriate.
Other Responsibilities
Local Public Health Agencies involved with an exceptional TB circumstance can assist the TB
Response Team by:
• Building consensus with state and other TB control advisors regarding investigative strategy
• Establishing accountable systems of communication, evaluation, response and tracking of TB
cases
• Notifying appropriate local officials
• Providing a list of available personnel and their skills
• Providing a list of available quarantine resources if needed, including a list and location of
negative air flow rooms available in the county
• Designating one person to communicate with TB Response Team Leader on an agreed-upon
schedule, in coordination with other media relations
• Adjusting investigation strategies based on new information obtained during TB response
efforts
• Designating a person to communicate with local media relations
• Recommending the type of written publications and reports needed to assist them in TB
response efforts
• Additional assistance offered by local public health agency
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC)
NOTIFICATION/REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
Indications for CDPHE to Notify CDC
CDC requests the following instances of TB transmission be reported:
Infectious source patient with high-risk exposures and there is at least one of the
following circumstances:
a. The source patient is suspected or known to have Mycobacterium tuberculosis
resistant to isoniazid and/or rifampin, with or without resistance to other drugs.
b. The exposure involves contacts with HIV infection or other immune-compromising
condition.
c. The exposure involves contacts in high-risk settings.
2. A child five years of age or less with confirmed TB for which a source of infection is not
discovered after source investigation.
3. A cluster of cases in place and time. In one or more counties in a state over a period of
approximately six months, compared to the previous equal time span, any increase in the
number of cases that is considered significant by the TB Program or by the Division of
TB Elimination (DTBE) personnel.
4. A genotype cluster considered to exhibit ongoing transmission.
5. Situations for which extensive TB transmission is confirmed or suspected. These
situations may involve workplaces, schools, unconventional social networks, or other
circumstances in which screening for TB disease and infection involves large numbers of
people or in which multiple cases are suspected.
6. Instances in which transmission is suspected or confirmed among patients in multiple
states. In this circumstance, an infectious source patient has exposed persons in multiple
states, or transmission has been discovered among specific members of a group that
resides or travels to multiple states, such as homeless persons who visit shelters in
multiple states.
7. Instances in which false-positive AFB smears or cultures are suspected. False-positive
AFB smears or cultures may be responsible for misdiagnosis of TB, and unnecessary
tests, treatment, and toxicities for patients. Most false-positive AFB smears or cultures
are based on laboratory cross-contamination, but may also be due to clerical errors and
mislabeling.
How to Report to and Request Assistance from CDC
Specific instances of TB transmission specified above should be reported to the TB Cooperative
Agreement Grant Program Consultant at CDC, Division of TB Elimination--DTBE (404) 639-
10
8126. The TB Response Team Leader will work with the TB Program Manager in reporting to
CDC. The CDC Program Consultant can provide procedures for requesting assistance.
ACTIVATION OF DEPARTMENT-WIDE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
If the TB response requires additional assistance beyond the scope of TB Response Team and
CDC, a request for assistance should be forwarded through the CDPHE Emergency Response
Plan. This request for assistance must be initiated and approved by the DCEED Director through
the CMO. Careful consideration must be given to leadership, authority and coordination of all
TB response activities when assistance at this level is needed.
DE-ACTIVATION OF TB RESPONSE FLAN
TB Response Plan de-activation procedures will be conducted by the TB Response Team when
the situation no longer supports the need for intensified TB response activities. These
procedures include:
1. Debriefing --TB Response Team meeting to review all activities and outcomes related to
the specific TB response
2. Change of Command --If the TB response required modification of authority, leadership,
or responsibilities during the investigation, a change will be made to restore local public
health agency responsibilities, as previously conducted.
3. Exit Interview --TB Response Team will conduct an exit interview with the local public
health agency and others involved in the TB response to review response activities and
outcomes and collect any additional information with regard to the response.
4. Evaluation of Results --TB Response Team and others, as appropriate, will conduct an
evaluation of activities and outcomes related to the TB response. Evaluation will include
identification of areas of improvement as well as areas of success. This information will
be used to direct future TB responses and changes in procedures, if needed.
5. Final Report --TB Response Team Leader will prepare a final written report, as
appropriate, with regard to the TB response (including all documents related to the TB
response such as correspondence, publications, summary reports, final response
evaluations, etc.) with the assistance from the TB Program Nurse Consultant and TB
Program Manager/Surveillance Coordinator. The final report will be approved by the
DCEED Director prior to distribution.
6. Long-term follow-up ofcontacts--The local public health agency or their designee will
follow contacts identified during the TB response. Information will be reported to the
Contact Investigation Coordinator initially and at the completion of follow-up (maybe
several months after initial response). Contact follow-up information will be added to the
final report. .
