Abstract:

Objective To analyze the psychiatric and neurologic adverse reactions of cycloserine in 138 patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data of 138 cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis who were admitted to the Department of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis, Hu’nan Chest Hospital from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2014. The occurrence and treatment strategies of adverse reactions of cycloserine were summarized and analyzed. Results Of the 138 cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis using cycloserine, 18 (13.04%) occurred the psychiatric and neurologic adverse reactions. Seven (5.07%) cases discontinued cycloserine. They received 6Cm(Am)-Lfx(Mfx)-Pto-PAS-Z/18Lfx(Mfx)-Pto-PAS-Z regimen, and all psychiatric and neurologic adverse reactions disappeared. The remaining 11 (7.97%) cases increased the dosage of VitB6, and maintained the original regimen for anti-tuberculosis treatment. After treatment, they all did not occur the psychiatric and neurologic adverse reactions. Conclusion It is relatively safe to use cycloserine-containing regimen to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, if we master the indications and closely monitor the adverse events.
