Efficacy, Security, Adherence, Tolerability and Cost Effectiveness of Latent TB Treatment in Patients With TB/DM2 (TBL)

Summary

Researchers will evaluate the efficacy, toxicity, adherence and cost effectiveness of treatment with isoniazid or rifampicin in patients with diabetes mellitus type two (DM2) and latent TB (LTB). This is a collaborative study with participation from three national institutes (Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública (INSP), Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias (INER) and the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubiran (INCMNSZ)). The study will take place in the VII sanitary jurisdiction of Orizaba and the INCMNSZ that has the necessary infrastructure and human resources. Researchers will evaluate 3000 patients with diabetes using a standardized questionnaire and a tuberculin skin test (TST) test.
