- NOTE (2): If patients have no resolution of arthritis despite intravenous therapy and if PCR results for a sample of synovial fluid (and synovial tissue if available) are negative, symptomatic treatment is recommended, which consist of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, intra-articular injections of corticosteroids, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as Hydroxychloroquine.
Septic arthritis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- Septic arthritis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis[5]
- Septic arthritis caused by susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- Intensive phase (adult)
- Preferred regimen: Isoniazid 5 mg/kg (max: 300 mg) for 2 months AND Rifampin 10 mg/kg (max: 600 mg) for 2 months AND Pyrazinamide 15–30 mg/kg (max: 2 g) for 2 months AND Ethambutol 15–20 mg/kg (max: 1 g) for 2 months

- Specific considerations
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- With the exception of streptomycin, the first line anti-TB drugs are safe for use in pregnancy: streptomycin is ototoxic to the fetus and should not be used during pregnancy.
- After active TB in the baby is ruled out, the baby should be given 6 months of isoniazid preventive therapy, followed by BCG vaccination.
- Pyridoxine supplementation is recommended for all pregnant or breastfeeding women taking isoniazid.
- Liver disorders
- Two hepatotoxic drugs (rather than the three in the standard regimen):
- 9 months of isoniazid and rifampicin, plus ethambutol (until or unless isoniazid susceptibility is documented).
- 2 months of isoniazid, rifampicin, streptomycin and ethambutol, followed by 6 months of isoniazid and rifampicin.
- 6–9 months of rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol.
- One hepatotoxic drug:
- 2 months of isoniazid, ethambutol and streptomycin, followed by 10 months of isoniazid and ethambutol.
- No hepatotoxic drugs:
- 18–24 months of streptomycin, ethambutol and a fluoroquinolone.
- Renal failure and severe renal insufficiency
- The recommended initial TB treatment regimen for patients with renal failure or severe renal insufficiency is 2 months of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol, followed by 4 months of isoniazid and rifampicin.
- There is significant renal excretion of ethambutol and metabolites of pyrazinamide, and doses should therefore be adjusted.
- Three times per week administration of these two drugs at the following doses is recommended: pyrazinamide (25 mg/kg), and ethambutol (15 mg/kg)
- While receiving isoniazid, patients with severe renal insufficiency or failure should also be given pyridoxine in order to prevent peripheral neuropathy.
- Because of an increased risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, streptomycin should be avoided in patients with renal failure. If streptomycin must be used, the dosage is 15 mg/kg, two or three times per week, to a maximum of 1 gram per dose, and serum levels of the drug should be monitored.
- Previously treated patients in settings with rapid DST
- TB patients whose treatment has failed or other patient groups with high likelihood of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR) should be started on an empirical MDR regimen.
- TB patients returning after defaulting or relapsing from their first treatment course may receive the retreatment regimen containing first-line drugs 2HRZES/1HRZE/5HRE if country-specific data show low or medium levels of MDR in these patients or if such data are not available.
- TB treatment in people living with HIV
- TB patients with known positive HIV status and all TB patients living in HIV prevalent settings should receive daily TB treatment at least during the intensive phase.
- For the continuation phase, the optimal dosing frequency is also daily for these patients.
- If a daily continuation phase is not possible for these patients, three times weekly dosing during the continuation phase is an acceptable alternative.
- It is recommended that TB patients who are living with HIV should receive at least the same duration of TB treatment as HIV-negative TB patients.
