The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a key factor responsible for the high rates of tuberculosis (TB) in sub-Saharan Africa. Treatment of TB with rifampicin (R, RMP) containing short-course regimens is highly effective in HIV-infected adults. We conducted a study to compare the efficacy and safety of intermittent ethambutol (E, EMB) with two RMP-containing regimens to treat pulmonary TB in HIV-infected patients.

This was a prospective cohort compared to two non-randomised control groups. The study group and the two control arms were treated with 2 months of isoniazid (H), RMP, pyrazinamide (Z) and EMB followed by 6 E3H3 for the study group and 4HR or 6HR for controls.
Between April 1993 and March 2000, 136 patients were enrolled in the 2EHRZ/E3H3 arm, 147 in the 2EHRZ/4HR arm and 266 in the 2EHRZ/6HR arm. The relapse rate was 18.2 per 100 person-years observation (PYO) for the study regimen compared to 9.7/100 PYO (P = 0.0063) and 4.8/100 PYO (P = 0.0001) in patients treated with 2 EHRZ/4HR or 2EHRZ/6HR, respectively.
The 2EHRZ/6E3H3 regimen is safe and effective but has a significant risk of relapse.
人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)是撒哈拉以南非洲地区结核病(TB)高发病率的关键因素。含利福平(R,RMP)的短程方案治疗HIV感染成人的结核病非常有效。我们开展了一项研究,比较间歇性乙胺丁醇(E,EMB)与两种含RMP方案治疗HIV感染患者肺结核的疗效和安全性。

这是一项前瞻性队列研究,与两个非随机对照组进行比较。研究组和两个对照组均接受2个月的异烟肼(H)、RMP、吡嗪酰胺(Z)和EMB治疗,随后研究组接受6个月的E3H3治疗,对照组分别接受4个月的HR或6个月的HR治疗。
1993年4月至2000年3月期间,2EHRZ/E3H3组纳入136例患者,2EHRZ/4HR组纳入147例患者,2EHRZ/6HR组纳入266例患者。研究方案的复发率为每100人年观察期(PYO)18.2例,而接受2EHRZ/4HR或2EHRZ/6HR治疗的患者复发率分别为9.7/100 PYO(P = 0.0063)和4.8/100 PYO(P = 0.0001)。
2EHRZ/6E3H3方案安全有效,但有显著的复发风险。
