Management of four pregnant women with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
This case series describes the medical management of four pregnant women with active multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. None of the four patients were infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Three patients had disease due to multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and one had disease due to multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium bovis.

متن کاملCharacterization of Tunisian Mycobacterium tuberculosis rifampin-resistant clinical isolates.
Analysis of the gene encoding the beta-subunit of Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase (rpoB) has demonstrated a small region that harbors the mutations most frequently associated with rifampin resistance. In this study, we determined the occurrence of rifampin resistance in 544 Tunisian clinical M. tuberculosis strains isolated in a university hospital between 2004 and 2006 by using the s...
متن کاملRifampin-resistant Meningococcal Disease
Rifampin-resistant meningococcal disease occurred in a child who had completed rifampin chemoprophylaxis for exposure to a sibling with meningococcemia. Susceptibility testing of 331 case isolates found only 1 other case of rifampin-resistant disease in Minnesota, USA, during 11 years of statewide surveillance. Point mutations in the RNA polymerase Beta subunit (rpoB) gene were found in isolate...
متن کاملRifampin-resistant Neisseria meningitidis
To The Editor: Immediate management of meningococcal disease requires antimicrobial drug treatment of patients with β-lactams and chemo-prophylaxis of contact persons with rifampin. High-level resistance to rifampin (MIC >32 mg/L) in Neisseria meningitidis is provoked by mutations (most frequently at the residue His 552) in the rpoB gene encoding the β subunit of RNA poly-merase (1,2). Resistan...
متن کاملPulmonary resection combined with isoniazid- and rifampin-based drug therapy for patients with multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of pulmonary resection and postoperative use of a first-line drug regimen for patients with well-localized, cavitary pulmonary multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). METHODS This was a prospective case study set in the National Masan Tuberculosis Hospital in Masan, Republic of Korea. From Febr...
