RESUMEN
Resumen El tratamiento de las tuberculosis multidrogorresistentes (TBC-MDR) se basa en esquemas de fármacos con diseños muy variables, en pacientes con patrones de resistencia heterogéneos y seguimientos no estandarizados, lo que hace dificil plantear recomendaciones con fuerte nivel de evidencia. Además, sólo una minoría de estos enfermos recibe tratamiento a nivel mundial y con los actuales esquemas menos del 50% de los que logran ser tratados curan. Afortunadamente, durante los últimos años han aparecido nuevos medicamentos, (bedaquilina, delamanid y pretomanid), que están demostrando ser de real utilidad para estos pacientes en ensayos con mejor diseño y seguimiento, donde se puede establecer con mayor precisión la eficacia, toxicidad y grado de recaídas. Además, algunos fármacos ya conocidos, (fluoroquinolonas, linezolid, clofazimina) están siendo introducidos dentro de los nuevos esquemas de tratamiento.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Therapy of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) is based on trials with drugs with highly variable patterns of resistance and non-standardized follow-ups that make it difficult to provide recommendations with strong levels of evidence. Also, the vast majority of MDR-TB patients fail to receive therapy and those who receive it, only achieve around 50% of good results. Fortunately new drugs have emerged (bedaquiline, delamanid, pretomanid) that are being useful for these patients with better designed trials and monitoring, in which the efficacy, toxicity and degree of relapses can be evaluated more accurately. Some drugs already known (fluorquinolones, linezolid and clofazimine) are also being introduced in new schemes of therapy.
