  • Title: [Interest of collapse therapy in pulmonary extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis].
    Author: Haustraete E, Campbell K, Magnier R, Zalcman G, Bergot É.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 2014 Aug; 70(4):240-4. PubMed ID: 24210158.
    Abstract:
    Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis is rare in France. Treatment of XDR tuberculosis is difficult and therapeutic failures are frequent. Surgery is considered as one of the therapeutic options, but is of little use regarding its high morbi-mortality. We report successful treatment of a XDR tuberculosis case with a 21-month antibiotic regimen followed by a surgical collapse therapy because of persistence of a large cavity. No relapse was observed after five years. Surgery in the XDR tuberculosis treatment is discussed.
