STEPS
1. Diagnosis
2. Number of drugs
3. Drug selection
4. Length of TB
treatment
5. Surgery
6. Ideal regimen
CONSIDERATIONS
-Analyse the following information:
o Medication History: at least one month of monotherapy or
adding one drug to a failing regimen is a strong predictor
of resistance.
o DST: Most reliable for R and H; less reliable for SLDI and
Fq; not reliable for E, Z; do not perform for group 4 drugs
-Perform HIV test. If positive, initiate CPT immediately and ART to all TB
patients within the first 8 weeks after initiation of anti-TB treatment
At least 4 effective drugs never used in the past and/or susceptible by
DST, taking into account DST reliability and cross-resistance
Use Z and evaluate the use of E, but neither should be considered as
one of the 4 main effective drugs. E should be considered especially in
patients just receiving before the Category I regimen.
Include just one Group 2 drug: one newer generation Fq, preferably
high dose Lfx (1 gr), or Mox
Include one Group 3 drug: One SLD injectable (Km, Ak, or Cm)
Include as many as needed of Group 4 drugs (Eth/Pth, Cs/Tz, PAS)
until to have, at least, 4 effective drugs in the regimen. Always
consider Eth/Pth as the first choice among Group 4 drugs.
If necessary, use Group 5 drugs to strengthen the regimen or when a 4
effective drug regimen has not been reached with the previous groups.
If available, Lz should be the first choice among Group 5 drugs.
Minimum length of treatment is 20 months, divided as follows:
IP: 6 months and at least 4 months after culture conversion. Longer if
3 effective drugs are not available during the continuation phase or if
the drugs are from group 5
CP: Minimum of 14 months
Consider only if few effective drugs are available, localised pulmonary
lesions are present and the person has sufficient respiratory reserve
Standardised: if there has been no use of SLDs in the past
Individualised: if there has been use of SLDs in the past or contact
with an MDR patient who had used them (Treat with the effective
regimen of the index case).A case of XDR-TB must always receive a
Individualized regimen.
