Resum
The continuous flow of new research articles on MDR-TB
diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation requires
frequent update of existing guidelines. This review is aimed at
providing clinicians and public health staff with an updated and
easy-to-consult document arising from consensus of Global
Tuberculosis Network (GTN) experts. The core published documents
and guidelines have been reviewed including the recently
published MDR-TB WHO rapid advice and ATS/CDC/ERS/IDSA
guidelines. After a rapid review of epidemiology and risk
factors, the clinical priorities on MDR-TB diagnosis (including
whole genome sequencing and drug-susceptibility testing
interpretations) and treatment (treatment design and management,
TB in children) are discussed. Furthermore, the review
comprehensively describes the latest information on contact
tracing and LTBI management in MDR-TB contacts, while providing
guidance on post-treatment functional evaluation and
rehabilitation of TB sequelae, infection control and other
public health priorities.
