Abstract

Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is defined by resistance to isoniazid, rifampicin, any fluoroquinolone and at least one of the three second line injectable drugs, such as amikacin. Drugs toxicity and duration impair adherence to treatment and outcome is rather poor [1]. We report on a particularly challenging XDR-TB patient with persistent non-adherence to treatment and an exceptionally complex drug susceptibility pattern.
