Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis

Abstract

Introduction: tuberculosis is an increasing problem of global health and the microbialdrug resistance a generating element of worry.Clinical case: 19 year-old patient, who admitted to the emergency room for presentinghemoptysis and who had history of pulmonary tuberculosis with irregular treatment.Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was documented and different strategies of availablemedical treatment were considered. Due to the increased epidemiological risk and thehistory of poor adherence to the treatment, an in-hospital treatment was carried outwith a satisfactory response.Conclusion: multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a social risk, keeping the route oftransmission of the disease. Rev.cienc.biomed. 2013;4(1):159-164RESUMEN:Introducción: la tuberculosis (TB) pulmonar es un problema creciente de saludmundial y la resistencia a los antibióticos un elemento de preocupación.Caso clínico: paciente de 19 años, quien ingresó al servicio de urgencias por presentarhemoptisis. Antecedente de TB con tratamiento irregular. Se documentó resistenciaa varios medicamentos. Se consideraron las diferentes estrategias de tratamientodisponible. Debido al elevado riesgo epidemiológico y la historia de pobre adherencia altratamiento, se realizó manejo intrahospitalario con respuesta satisfactoria.Conclusiones: la tuberculosis multirresistente (MDR-TB) representa un riesgo parala comunidad, teniendo en cuenta la vía de transmisión de la entidad.
