Study Notes

Tuberculosis (TB) Treatment Essentials

Turnaround Time for Treatment: Treatment initiation for Tuberculosis begins 2 days after sputum sample collection.
Classification of Children: In TB DOTS by DOH, a patient under the age of 12 is classified as a child.
Rifampicin-resistant TB Treatment: Levofloxacin is the recommended medication for patients diagnosed with Rifampicin-resistant TB.

Dosage Calculations

Streptomycin Dosage: A 60 kg patient requires 1.80 ml of Streptomycin for the 14th day of the IM dose.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate: A 55-year-old male with a creatinine level of 156 has an estimated GFR of 54.29.

Adverse Reactions of TB Medications

Isoniazid Concerns: This medication can lead to psychosis and convulsions.
Pyrazinamide Risks: Potential adverse reactions include thrombocytopenia, anemia, and shock.

Drug Interactions and Considerations

Interaction with Oral Contraceptives: Rifampicin may interact negatively with oral contraceptives.
Dose Adjustments in Hemodialysis: Streptomycin is generally avoided in patients with renal failure, and is not expected for dose adjustments in hemodialysis for Category II Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Co-treatment of HIV and TB

ART and TB Medications: ART may be deferred until completing the intensive phase of TB treatment; ethambutol and isoniazid can be used in the continuation phase.
