Hi and welcome to question doctors .com
Multidrug-resistant TB is when TB is resistant to more than one anti-TB drug and at least isoniazid and rifampin.
Drug-resistant TB can occur
when the drugs used to treat TB are misused or mismanaged.
If she does not complete a full course of TB treatment
Dictors prescribe the wrong treatment (the wrong dose or length of time)
Drugs are of poor quality..
The most important way to prevent the spread of it is to take all TB drugs exactly as prescribed by the specialist.. No doses should be missed and treatment should not be stopped early.
