Background: Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis has become major public health problem and obstacle to effective control of tuberculosis. Objectives was to study the socio-demographic profile of multi- drug resistant tuberculosis patients and its association with severity of ADR (adverse drug reactions) in DOTS plus centre at tertiary hospital in Himachal Pradesh.Methods: It was a prospective observational study carried out from November 2012 to October 2013 on multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients after approved from Institutional Ethics Committee.Results: Out of 104 patients the mean age of patients was 39.9 ±14.26 years. Majority of the patients were in the economically productive age groups. Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis was more in male (76%) than female (24%) and 96% of patients were belonged to rural area. The educational status of the MDR-TB shows 24% patients were illiterate. 63.46% MDR-TB patients were underweight (BMI<18.5%) according to WHO guidelines for obesity. Severity of ADR assessed by Hart wig and Siegel’s scale showed 21% patients experienced mild ADRs, 49% patients had moderate and 17% patients had severe ADRs. Severity of ADR is seen more in male, economically productive age group, subjects on vegetarian diet, patients who were underweight (BMI<18.5%) and with lower educational status.Conclusions: MDR-TB is a rapidly increasing health problem with major socio-economic and individual consequences. Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis mainly affects middle age that is in the economically productive age group which hampers the social and economic development of individual, society and nation.

Background: A high frequency of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is one of the major challenges in the treatment of Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Patients may refuse to continue treatment if ADRs are not properly addressed, drugs may be stopped unnecessarily and treatment may be terminated prematurely by inexperienced health workers, resulting in a high proportion of failure.Methods: Patients diagnosed for MDR-TB and registered in Drug Resistant TB centre (DR-TB) of tertiary care hospital during period of July 2014 to June 2015 were enrolled in the study. Data of patients hospitalized for the complaints of ADR in DR-TB centre during study period was collected.Results: Out of 468 patients, 60 (12.82%) patients developed at least one adverse reaction and were hospitalised for the same. Among 109 reported ADRs, Gastrointestinal upset was the most common ADR reported (5.98%) followed by psychosis (4.91%) and ototoxicity (2.99%).Conclusions: The health providers, the patients and their relatives should be sensitised about these ADRs for early detection and treatment. It can also be suggested that the setup of DR-TB centre should be integrated with psychiatry and ENT specialities, with all the provisions of early detection of ADR and treatment.

Background: MDR-TB treatment defaulter are potentially harmful to community as these can relapse and spread infection, developed resistance to second line anti tubercular drugs and may result in to extensive drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and major challenges for successful outcome. Objective was to study treatment outcome of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis patients on second line anti-tuberculosis drugs at tertiary care hospital at Himachal Pradesh.Methods: It was prospective observational study carried out after approval from institutional ethics committee. A total 104 MDR/RR-TB case enrolled for study from November 2012 to October 2013. Data were collected in predesigned proforma and entered in to Microsoft excel worksheet 2007 and analyzed with the help of SPSS software version 17. Chi-square test was applied to find out the association between independent variable and outcome of MDR-TB and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Among all 104 patients initiated on treatment 73.07% patients were alive, completed intensive phase and switch to continuation phase of treatment, 14.42% patients were died, 5.76% defaulted, 0.96% patient was transferred out and 5.76% patients were turned out XDR-TB and switched to regimen of XDR-TB treatment.Conclusions: Treatment and control of MDR-TB require sound infrastructure and well equipped laboratory facilities to provide quality and prompt diagnosis. Lack of knowledge, awareness, long duration of treatment and defaulters are major challenges for successful outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To study the sensitivity and resistance pattern of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis patients at a tertiary care centre. METHODS: Retrospective study will be conducted at tertiary care centre in Aurangabad from which data of patients will be collected who have registered under RNTCP from Jan 2018 to Jan 2020.Drug resistant patterns will be studied over a span of 3 years. RESULTS: In this study most of the patients of MDR-TB patients were of female gender with maximum involvement of pulmonary origin. Rifampicin resistance was most common. CONCLUSION: The present study emphasizes on the need for strengthening of laboratory services in diagnosis of MDR-TB, adequate and strict drug regimes to be followed in order to curtain the MDR-TB cases.

Introduction: Treatment of multi drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) with second line drugs is associated with adverse drug reactions and toxicity. Aim of this study were to determine side effects associated with drugs used in treatment of multi drug resistant tuberculosis and treatment related factors of MDR-TB patients.Methodology: A prospective study was carried out in National Tuberculosis Centre Bhaktapur Nepal. Questionnaires were used to collect data from patients.Results: Total 101 MDR TB patients were included among them majorities were male (52%) and mean age of the patients was 31.2 years. Majority of patients (87.1%) had previous history of tuberculosis treatment and 54.5% were in intensive phase of treatment. The side effect associated with drugs used in treatment of MDR-TB reported by patients were joint pain (21.2%), nausea (20.3%), hearing disturbances (11%), gastrointestinal disturbance (9.9%), depression (9.6%), itching (8.1%), hypothyroidism (6.4%), dizziness (6.4%), seizures (3.8%) and hepatitis (3.5%). Last month 25.74% patients missed one or more doses of drugs and 3.9% missed drug doses due to side effect of drugs. Majorities of the patients used vehicle to reach health centre (92.07%), time to reach the health center (59.4%) were less than 30 minutes but majorities of patients (57.4%) were not satisfied by the counseling of health care worker.Conclusion: The finding of this study shows that in MDR patients 12.8% were found new cases. Last month 3.9% patients were stopped the drugs due to side effects of drugs. Majority of patients (57.4%) were not satisfied by counseling of health care worker. Treatment of multi drug resistant tuberculosis with second line anti tubercular drugs is associated with side effects, health care worker counseling to MDR- TB patients with full attention is essential to encourage the patient’s moral and complete the treatment. Timely managing the side effects of medication is important in helping people to complete their treatment.SAARC J TUBER LUNG DIS HIV/AIDS, 2017; XIV(1), Page: 1-6
