Condensed model structure. The full model consists of two parallel models (one for HIV-infected and one for HIV-uninfected) that have structures similar to the one depicted here. Individuals move from one submodel to the other when they are infected with HIV. The full model structure can be found in Supporting Text. Green compartments represent infection/disease with a drug-sensitive M. tuberculosis strain; red compartments represent infection/disease with either a fit or unfit drug-resistant strain; the yellow compartment represents infection with two strains (i.e., drug-sensitive and fit/unfit drug-resistant or unfit and fit drug-resistant). Each of the compartments summarizes a number of distinct infection/disease states. The latent infection compartments include individuals who can progress to TB disease either slowly or rapidly or who can be reinfected with another strain of circulating M. tuberculosis. The TB disease compartments include those who have active (infectious) disease and extrapulmonary (noninfectious) disease. Individuals with TB disease may self-cure (contain their infection and return to latency) or, if they have active disease and are detected and treated, they may recover from disease. Those who are treated for drug-sensitive TB may acquire drug resistance. Individuals in all compartments (with the exception of those with TB disease) may be reinfected by circulating strains of M. tuberculosis (dotted arrows). IPT works by clearing drug-sensitive organisms from latently infected individuals (red arrows).
