RESUMEN
La implementación de un tratamiento empírico en los pacientes con tuberculosis multifarmacorresistente, sin pruebas de cultivo y de farmacosensibilidad, lleva a un gran número de fracasos. Diversos estudios han demostrado que el retratamiento de segunda línea estandarizado no logra la curación en un alto porcentaje y es en principio un régimen empírico, por lo que no parece ser la mejor conducta terapéutica y es, definitivamente, más conveniente que estos pacientes sean tratados con un esquema individualizado por médicos expertos en esta forma especial de la tuberculosis.
ABSTRACT
The implementation of an empirical treatment in patients with muitidrug resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) without sputum culture and drug-susceptibility tests leads to a high number of failures. Several studies have shown that standardized second line retreatment does not provide a high cure rate and is an empirical regime. Therefore, this does not appear to be the best therapeutic choice; MDRTB patients should be treated with an individualized treatment by physicians expert in this very special form of tuberculosis.
