Tuberculosis resistant to chemotherapy with two or more ANTITUBERCULAR AGENTS, including
at least ISONIAZID and RIFAMPICIN. The problem of resistance is particularly troublesome
in tuberculous OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS associated with HIV INFECTIONS. It requires
the use of second line drugs which are more toxic than the first line regimens. TB
with isolates that have developed further resistance to at least three of the six
classes of second line drugs is defined as EXTENSIVELY DRUG-RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS
Note générale sur le champ d'application :
coordinate with specific type of tuberculosis + specific antitubercular agents if
pertinent; EXTENSIVELY DRUG-RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS is also available
