Tuberculosis v Common sites of infections : v 1 -Apical areas of lung v 2 - Renal parenchyma v 3 - Growing ends of bones Where oxygen tension is high
Transmission v Through inanimate ﺟﺎﻣﺪﻩ objects v Through air ( air borne transmission )
Treatment Of Tuberculosis v Tuberculosis remains the primary cause of death due to infectious disease. v Periods of treatment ( minimum 6 months) ﻣﻬﻤﻪ v Drugs are divided into two groups: v First line v Second line
Antimycobacterial drugs v. First line of drugs: v Isoniazid (INH) v Rifampin v Ethambutol v Streptomycin v Pyrazinamide
Never use a single drug therapy v. Isoniazid –rifampin combination administered for 9 months will cure 95 -98% of cases. v. Addition of pyrazinamide for this combination for the first 2 months allows total duration to be reduced to 6 months.
ﺍﻭﻻ v. Bacteriostatic : Isoniazid for resting bacilli. v ﻣﻬﻤﻪ Bactericidal ﻗﺎﺗﻞ ﻟﻠﺒﻜﺘﻴﺮﻳﺎ for rapidly dividing bacilli. v. Is effective against intracellular as well as extracellular bacilli ﻻﻧﻬﺎ ﺗﺨﺘﺮﻕ ﺍﻟﻤﺎﻳﻜﺮﻭﻓﻴﺞ
Clinical uses ﻣﻬﻤﻪ v. Mycobacterial infections . v. Latent tuberculosis in patients with positive tuberculin skin test v Prophylaxis ﻭﻗﺎﺋﻲ against active TB in individuals who are in great risk.

Site of Action v Intracellular bacilli v Extracellular bacilli
Clinical uses v Mycobacterial infections v Prophylaxis ﻭﻗﺎﺋﻲ of active tuberculosis. v Treatment of serious staphylococcal infections. v Meningitis ﻣﻬﻤﻪ by highly resistant penicillin pneumococci v.

Adverse effects v Harmless red-orange discoloration of body secretions. ﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺒﻮﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻡ v Hepatitis v Flu-like syndrome v Hemolytic anemia v Thrombocytopenia

Pharmacodinamic : Half time = 1 - widley disturputed 8 -11 H 2 - orally and well absorbed in GIT 3 - pass through 1 st pass metabolism in liver then excreted through kidney
Site Of Action v Active against Intracellular Bacilli
Clinical uses v Mycobacterial infections mainly in multidrug resistance cases. v It is important in short –course (6 months) regimen. v Prophylaxis ﻭﻗﺎﺋﻲ of TB.
Adverse effects v Hepatotoxicity v Hyperuricemia >> cause GOUTY ﻧﻘﺮﺱ ARTHRIETS ( ﻣﻬﻤﻪ ﺟﺪﺍ ) ﺳﺆﺎﻝ v Drug fever & skin rash
