Drug-resistant tuberculosis: pediatric guidelines

Mona Al-Dabbagh et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection represents a serious and growing problem. For patients infected or suspected of being infected with multidrug or extensively drug-resistant TB, several medications have to be given simultaneously for prolonged periods. Here, we review the literature on treatment and monitoring of adverse effects of pediatric drug-resistant TB therapy in a high resource, low TB burden setting.
