Tuberculosis
resistant to chemotherapy with two or more
ANTITUBERCULAR AGENTS
, including at least
ISONIAZID
and
RIFAMPICIN
. The problem of resistance is particularly troublesome in tuberculous
OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS
associated with
HIV INFECTIONS
. It requires the use of second line drugs which are more toxic than the first line regimens. TB with isolates that have developed further resistance to at least three of the six classes of second line drugs is defined as
EXTENSIVELY DRUG-RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS.
