Résumé

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) presents a major global health challenge. In high-income countries, treatment is individualised to optimise efficacy and reduce toxicity. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients with MDR-TB receiving individualised antibiotic therapy in Australia. This retrospective cohort study was performed in the city of Sydney in Australia and included patients diagnosed with bacteriologically confirmed MDR-TB diagnosed between 2000 and 2016. The clinical characteristics of patients and treatment details were extracted from medical records. The incidence of adverse events and end-of-treatment outcomes were also evaluated. Fifty-five patients with MDR-TB were identified at TB clinics in seven hospitals. The median age was 32 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 27-36 years). The median duration of the intensive phase treatment was six months (IQR 6-7 months). All patients' treatment administration was directly observed. The commonest reported adverse event was ototoxicity (44%; 23/52) and successful treatment outcomes were achieved by 95% (52/55) of patients. This study demonstrated the high treatment success rate that can be achieved using individualised treatment for MDR-TB in a well-resourced setting. Implications for public health: The expansion of individualised therapy promises to contribute to MDR-TB control and advance the ambitious goal of TB elimination by 2035.
