prophylaxis for TB
isoniazid
tx for TB
RIPE
rifampin
isoniazid
pyrazinamide
ethambutol
prophylaxis for MAI
azithromycin
rifabutin
tx of MAI
more drug resistant than TB
azithromycin or clarithromycin and ethambutol
add rifabutin or cipro
tx of m. leprae tuberculoid form
long term tx - dapsone and rifampin
tx of m. leprae lepromatous form
long term tx - dapsone and rifampin
add clofazimine
rifampin
rifamycin
rifabutin
rifamycin
rifamycin
inhibit DNA dependent RNA polymerase
rifampin in leprosy tx
delays resistance to dapsone
adverse of rifampin
increase P450
orange body fluids
rifabutin vs. rifampin
rifabutin favored in HIV patient - due to less P450 activation
resistance rifamycins
mutation reduce drug binding RNA polymerase
isoniazid
inhibit synthesis mycolic acid
to activate isoniazid
require bacterial catalase-peroxidase (KatG gene)
adverse isoniazid
neurotoxic
hepatotoxic
prevent neurotoxic - vit B6 - pyridoxine
prevent neurotoxicity of isoniazid
vit B6 - pyridoxine
resistance to isoniazid
mutation to underexpression of KatG
