What is the difference between the management of drug resistant TB and drug susceptible TB?
In areas of minimal or no drug resistance DOTS achieves cure rates of up to 95%; rates high enough to dramatically reduce the TB burden while preventing the emergence of drug resistant TB. However unlike drug susceptible TB that has a solid, effective management strategy, management of drug resistant TB is still in a pilot stage. While the former can be cured within 6 months, forms of drug resistant TB requires, extensive chemotherapy (that is more toxic) for up to two years.
