Introduction: Given Mycobacterium tuberculosis's characteristics, the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) infection is administered over a long period of time (for six months or more) with a combination of several drugs which could cause adverse reactions (AR). These can cause significant morbidity and compromise tuberculosis treatment regimens.
Aim: To determine the incidence and severity of and risk factors for major adverse reactions to antituberculosis drugs in in-hospital patients treated for active tuberculosis.
Introduction: Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is defined as a form of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) with additional resistance to fluoroquinolones and at least one of the injectable drugs used in tuberculosis treatment: amikacin, kanamycin and capreomycin. It was classified by WHO as a serious threat to tuberculosis (TB) control, with world-wide consequences, taking on the proportions of a real pandemic in some regions.
Aim: To compare patients with XDR-TB versus other MDR-TB profiles with regard to epidemiological and demographic characteristics, aetiopathogenic factors and inhospital outcomes.
