Scope note: Tuberculosis resistente a la quimioterapia con dos o más FÁRMACOS ANTITUBERCULOSOS, incluyendo al menos ISONIACIDA y RIFAMPICINA. El problema de la resistencia es particularmente importante en la tuberculosis como INFECCIONES OPORTUNISTAS asociadas a la INFECCIÓN POR VIH. Estos casos requieren el uso de fármacos de segunda línea que son más tóxicos que los regímenes de primera línea. La TB con cepas que han desarrollado resistencia adicional al menos a seis clases de fármacos de segunda línea se denomina TUBERCULOSIS EXTREMADAMENTE MULTIRRESISTENTE.

Scope note: 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.
Annotation: coordinate with specific type of tuberculosis + specific antitubercular agents if pertinent; EXTENSIVELY DRUG-RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS is also available
