Study Notes
Antitubercular Drugs
- Classified into two categories: first-line and second-line drugs
- Used to treat tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis Infection
- First Infections Episode: initial infection with TB
- Reinfection: repeat infection with TB
- Dormancy: latent TB infection, where the bacteria remain in the body but do not cause symptoms
- Incidence: rate of new TB cases in a population
Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
- A type of TB that is resistant to at least two of the most effective anti-TB drugs, isoniazid and rifampin
- Requires specialized treatment with second-line drugs
Diagnostic Tools
- PPD (Purified Protein Derivative): a screening test used to detect TB infection
- Measures the body's immune response to TB antigens
Antitubercular Drug Therapy
- Considerations: patient age, weight, and medical history, as well as potential drug interactions and adverse effects
- Bedaquiline (Sirturo): a diarylquinoline antibiotic used to treat MDR-TB
- Isoniazid: a antibacterial medication used to treat TB, can cause liver damage
- Rifabutin, Rifampin, and Rifapentine: antibacterial medications used to treat TB, can cause liver damage and interact with other medications
Adverse Effects
- Hepatotoxicity: liver damage, a potential side effect of some antitubercular drugs
- Other adverse effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and allergic reactions
Nursing Implications
- Monitor patients for adverse effects, especially liver damage
- Educate patients on medication adherence and potential side effects
