ИЗУЧЕНИЕ РЕЗИСТЕНТНОСТИ К ПРОТИВОТУБЕРКУЛЕЗНЫМ СРЕДСТВАМ У БОЛЬНЫХ, НАХОДЯЩИХСЯ НА СТАЦИОНАРНОМ ЛЕЧЕНИИ В ОТДЕЛЕНИИ РЕЗИСТЕТНЫХ ФОРМ ТУБЕРКУЛЕЗА ЛЕГКИХ

Abstract

A comparative study of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs in patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis and in patients with chronic forms of tuberculosis who were treated in an anti-tuberculosis hospital was carried out. We examined 142 patients treated in the department of resistant forms of tuberculosis. A complete bacteriological study of sputum for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was carried out with the determination of sensitivity to anti-tuberculosis drugs during the cultivation of microorganisms on a liquid nutrient medium in a system with automated registration of bacterial growth and on a dense nutrient medium of Lowenstein-Jensen using the method of absolute concentrations. Methods of PCR analysis were also used. According to the anamnesis, two groups of patients were formed: 82 patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis and 60 patients with a chronic course of the disease or with a relapse of the disease. According to the age structure, patients under the age of 50 prevailed in both groups. At the same time, in the first group there was a significant number of patients aged 18-29 years - 20.7%. In the second group, the number of patients aged 18-29 years was significantly less - 5%. Despite the fact that all patients were assigned to the category of multidrug-resistant pathogen and were treated in the unit of resistant forms of tuberculosis, it was important to assess the level of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance separately for patients in each of the selected groups. The largest differences between groups were found in the assessment of second-line drug resistance. Patients of the second group showed high resistance to fluoroquinolones - 30% and amikacin - 41.6%. In patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (first group), resistance to fluoroquinolones was 9.7%, and to amikacin - 17.1%. Capreomycin was the most effective in both groups. The resistance of the causative agent of tuberculosis in patients of the first group was 4.9%, in the second - 11.6%.
