multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis
multidrug-resistant (mdr) and extensively drug-resistant (xdr) tuberculosis (tb) are increasing globally. treatment options for these patients are very limited. although treatment of these patients with standardized regimen is associated with high mortality and morbidity, rational usage of new drugs might be promising. in this study we will review epidemiology of xdr-tb and tdr-tb in iran and t...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis (TB) can usually be treated with a course of four standard, or first-line, anti-TB drugs. If these are misused or mismanaged (that is, when drugs are taken in the wrong combination, are fewer than those prescribed, or are taken in insufficient doses or not at the proper time), multidrugresistant TB (MDR-TB) can develop. MDR-TB is a form of disease resistant to the most important an...
متن کاملApplication of quantitative second-line drug susceptibility testing at a multidrug-resistant tuberculosis hospital in Tanzania
BACKGROUND Lack of rapid and reliable susceptibility testing for second-line drugs used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) may limit treatment success. METHODS Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from patients referred to Kibong'oto National TB Hospital in Tanzania for second-line TB treatment underwent confirmatory speciation and susceptibility testing. Minimum inh...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility testing and totally drug-resistant tuberculosis.
We find the article by MIGLIORI et al. [1], on extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), very informative and would like to commend them for the excellent meta-analysis. Without any doubt, XDR-TB is an extensive global problem; the use of the lower susceptibility breaking points that we recently suggested [2] mean that the burden of XDR-TB could be even higher. Although there are recent...
