Abstract

Objective: Resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, which are the most important drugs in TB treatment, is called multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). MDR-TB is a life-threatening condition that af-fects children as well as adults.Material and Methods: The medical records of children diagnosed with MDR-TB between June 2015 and October 2018 were analyzed retrospec-tively.Results: Seven female (77.8%) and two male (22.2%) patients were includ-ed into the study. Their mean age was 11.58 ± 4.23 years (3.75-15 years). Five patients (55.5%) had family members with MDR-TB. All of them had pulmonary tuberculosis. Acid-resistant bacteria (ARB) were observed in three (33.3%) patients, nucleic acid amplification tests were positive in four (44.4%) patients, and positive cultures were observed in seven (77.7%) pa-tients. Seven patients had microbiologically and two patients had clinically confirmed MDR-TB. Five patients (55.5%) had isoniazid and rifampicin re-sistance, two patients (22.2%) had isoniazid, rifampicin and streptomycin resistance. A treatment protocol consisting of pyrazinamide, ethambutol, amikacin, protionamide and moxifloxacin was started after evaluating the culture results of the patients and family members. Cycloserine was added to the treatment protocol of four (44.4%) patients. The total treatment pro-cess was continued for 18 months.Conclusion: Management of childhood MDR-TB is a long and difficult process, but it is a preventable and treatable disease.

Özet

Tüberküloz (TB) tedavisinde en önemli ilaçlar olan izoniyazid ve rifampisine direnç çok ilaca dirençli tüberküloz (ÇİD-TB) olarak tanım-lanmaktadır. Çok ilaca dirençli tüberküloz erişkinler kadar çocukları da etkileyen hayatı tehdit eden bir durumdur.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Haziran 2015-Ekim 2018 tarihleri arasında ÇİD-TB tanısı alan çocukların tıbbi kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Yedi kız (%77.8) ve iki erkek hasta (%22.2) çalışmaya dahil edil-di. Hastaların ortalama yaşları 11.58 ± 4.23 yıldı (3.75-15 yıl). Beş hastanın (55.5%) ailesinde ÇİD-TB tanılı bir aile üyesi vardı. Hastaların hepsi akci-ğer tüberkülozu tanılıydı. Aside dirençli basil (ARB) pozitifliği üç hastada (%33.3), nükleik asit amplifikasyon testi pozitifliği dört hastada (%44.4), kültür pozitifliği yedi hastada (%77.7) gözlendi. Yedi hastada mikrobi-yolojik, iki hastada klinik olarak ÇİD-TB saptandı. Beş hastada (%55.5) izoniyazid ve rifampisin direnci, iki hastada (%22.2) izoniyazid, rifam-pisin ve streptomisin direnci vardı.Hastaların ve aile üyelerinin kültür sonuçlarını değerlendirdikten sonra pirazinamid, etambutol, amikasin, protionamid ve moksifloksasinden oluşan tedavi protokolü başlandı. Sikloserin dört hastanın (%44.4) tedavisine eklendi. Toplam tedavi süresi 18 ay devam edildi.Sonuç: Çocukluk çağı ÇİD-TB’nin yönetimi uzun ve zor bir süreç olmakla birlikte önlenebilen ve tedavi edilebilen bir hastalıktır.
