Treatment outcomes among patients with isoniazid mono-resistant tuberculosis in Mumbai, India: A retrospective cohort study

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant cause of mortality globally, with India accounting for 27% of the estimated number of people with TB. Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and isoniazid (INH) resistance pose additional challenges to effective treatment. We aimed to describe treatment o...

description Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant cause of mortality globally, with India accounting for 27% of the estimated number of people with TB. Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and isoniazid (INH) resistance pose additional challenges to effective treatment. We aimed to describe treatment outcomes of INH mono-resistant TB patients under programmatic conditions in Mumbai, India. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Shatabdi Hospital in Mumbai between 2019–2021.We described the clinical and demographic characteristics, treatment outcomes, and risk factors for unfavourable outcomes among patients with INH mono-resistant TB treated with rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, and levofloxacin (LfxREZ) for a duration of 6 months. Results: Among 3105 patients with drug-resistant TB initiated on treatment, 217 (7 %) had INH mono-resistant TB. Of these, 54 % (117/217) were female, with a median age of 26 years (interquartile range: 20–40). The majority (88 %; 191/217) presented with pulmonary TB, and most (87 %; 188/217) had favourable treatment outcomes, including treatment completion (52 %; 112/217) and cure (35 %; 76/217). Unfavourable outcomes, including treatment failure (2.3 %; 5/217), loss to follow-up (9.2 %; 20/217), or death (1.8 %; 4/217), were observed in 13 % (29/217) of patients. A total of ten (5 %) patients experienced at least one non-severe adverse drug reaction. Factors associated with unfavourable outcomes included severe thinness (p = 0.019) and male gender (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Treating INH mono-resistant patients with LfxREZ resulted in satisfactory outcomes and low toxicity. It is important to rule out drug resistance to INH while determining the treatment regimen.
