The emergence of resistance is of great concern in the control of TB, especially to the new and repurposed drugs needed for the treatment of rifampicin resistance. We report a patient from South Kivu in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo with primary resistance to delamanid and linezolid without treatment experience with these drugs. The identification of novel resistance mutations raises concerns about the potential global spread and poor outcomes of the WHO-recommended oral treatment regimens, highlighting the need for the urgent rollout of DST.
耐药性的出现是结核病控制中极为令人担忧的问题,尤其是对治疗利福平耐药所需的新型和重新利用的药物而言。我们报告了一名来自刚果民主共和国东部南基伍省的患者,其对地拉马尼和利奈唑胺存在原发性耐药,且此前未使用过这些药物进行治疗。新型耐药突变的发现引发了对世界卫生组织推荐的口服治疗方案可能在全球传播以及治疗效果不佳的担忧,凸显了迫切需要推广开展药敏试验的必要性。
