Principles of management of
MDR TB at TRC
When patients were failing/relapsing, regimen was chosen based
on the last susceptibility results available
Rx was changed according to patient response & susceptibility
results
Choice of the regimen was based on the available drugs for
managing MDR TB at the time
Rx was supervised for the first 6-month of injection phase thrice
weekly
Subsequently, drugs were supplied once-a- week/fortnight and
intake monitored by home visits
Patients were seen every month with clinical and bacteriological
monitoring and X-ray once in 6-months

When to evaluate for MDR TB ?
Patients not showing any reduction in
bacillary population after 3-months of
regular treatment with Cat II regimen
Sputum
positive
patients
who
contacts of a known MDR TB patient
are
TRC
ICMR
How to evaluate MDR TB ?
MDR TB is only a laboratory proved HR
resistance
Clinical suspicion should be followed by
lab. Confirmation
Laboratories should be quality controlled
TRC
ICMR
Drug Resistance in TB
When to suspect drug resistance?
Persistent sputum positivity
Fall and rise phenomenon of sputum AFB
Clinical or radiological deterioration in the
presence of positive sputum
Provided patient has been regular in drug intake

To conclude
Availability of 2nd line drugs, including quinolone,
alone was not adequate for managing MDR TB
Early detection, individually tailored regimen did
not help to improve the Rx outcome
Directly observed treatment has given better
results
Hospitalisation for the entire period of treatment
has given better outcome
TRC
ICMR
Recommendations
MDR TB should be always laboratory proved &
Clinical suspicion should be followed by lab.
Confirmation
Labs should be established in all states
Hospitalisation & supervision of Rx for the initial 36 mths of period is recommended for better
outcome
