Decoding MDR-TB:

Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis

MDR-TB can be challenging, but it is treatable

MDR TB is a form of tuberculosis caused by bacteria that are resistant to at least two of the most effective anti-TB drugs. This resistance makes MDR TB more challenging to treat and control compared to drug-susceptible TB.

Regular TB is usually treated with a combination of drugs, and most people get better with this treatment. But with MDR-TB, the TB bacteria in your body have become resistant to these drugs. So, different medicines are needed.

Symptoms of MDR-TB

Persistent Cough:

If you have a cough that lasts for more than three weeks, especially if it's productive (produces phlegm), it could be a sign of MDR-TB.

hemoptysis - Blood in Cough

Chest Pain or Pressure or Chest Discomfort

Chest pain can occur as a result of the scarring and fibrosis that develops in the lungs after TB. The pain may be sharp or dull and can be exacerbated by deep breathing or physical activity.

MDR TB is caused by strains of the bacteria that are resistant to at least two of the most powerful anti-TB drugs. It is a serious condition that requires comprehensive treatment.

Surgery may be considered as an adjunct to medical therapy in certain situations. For example, if there is a localised area of infection that is not responding well to medication, surgery may be recommended. Additionally, surgery may be considered for the removal of lung cavities or to address complications such as hemoptysis (coughing up blood).
