Abstract:

In 2010, World Health Organization (WHO) issued recommendations for the treatment of drug susceptible tuberculosis (DS-TB). This treatment regimen is widely used, but in clinical practice, it is found that many patients fail to complete the 6-month treatment due to the long treatment time. Based on two phase Ⅲ trials, for the first time, the 2022 WHO guidelines add to the evidence-based recommendations of the most recent 2021 guideline development panel, which recommended a 4-month regimen for DS-TB. In this article, the author interprets the treatment of DS-TB according to the latest 2022 guidelines.
