Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of infection-related mortality worldwide. Drug resistance, need for multiple antimycobacterial agents, prolonged treatment courses, and medication-related side effects are complicating factors to TB cure. The introduction of treatment regimens containing the novel agents bedaquiline, pretomanid, and linezolid, with or without moxifloxacin (BPaL-M or BPaL, respectively) have substantially reduced TB-related morbidity and mortality and are associated with favorable rates of treatment completion and cure. This review summarizes key information on the pharmacology and treatment principles for moxifloxacin, bedaquiline, delamanid, pretomanid, linezolid, and tedizolid in the treatment of multi-drug resistant TB, with recommendations provided to address and attenuate common adverse effects during treatment.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Mycobacterial Diseases aims to provide a forum for clinically relevant articles on all aspects of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections, including (but not limited to) epidemiology, clinical investigation, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, drug-resistance and public policy, and encourages the submission of clinical studies, thematic reviews and case reports. Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Mycobacterial Diseases is an Open Access publication.
