Overview

Rapid diagnosis of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis shows improved outcomes, suggesting integrated patient management is essential.

Key Points

  • MDR/RR-TB diagnosis via Xpert MTB/RIF assay and equivalent tests improves treatment access.
  • Shorter treatment regimens like BPaLM, MDR-END, and BPaL enhance patient compliance.
  • Monitoring adverse effects like bone marrow suppression and optic neuritis is critical during treatment.
  • Patient-centered management may reduce MDR/RR-TB prevalence in Korea and improve outcomes.
