Key Points

  • To address the rapid diagnosis and effective treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB).
  • Utilized the Xpert MTB/RIF assay for diagnosis of tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance.
  • Initiated treatment based on confirmed rifampicin resistance with regimens like BPaLM and MDR-END.
  • Administered medications at recommended dosages, ensuring full duration of treatment.
  • Monitored patients for adverse effects including bone marrow suppression and peripheral neuropathy.
  • Shorter treatment regimens led to improved convenience and access for patients.
  • Patient-centered management can enhance treatment outcomes and reduce MDR/RR-TB prevalence.
