Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis resistant to ISONIAZID and RIFAMPIN and at least three of the six main classes of second-line drugs (AMINOGLYCOSIDES; polypeptide agents; FLUOROQUINOLONES; THIOAMIDES; CYCLOSERINE; and PARA-AMINOSALICYLIC ACID) as defined by the CDC.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Thioridazine (TDZ) has been shown to have in vitro activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to promote the killing of intracellular MDR and XDR strains and to cure the mouse of antibiotic-susceptible and -resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) infections."6.46Thioridazine cures extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and the need for global trials is now! ( Amaral, L; Boeree, MJ; Gillespie, SH; Udwadia, ZF; van Soolingen, D, 2010)
"Linezolid was included in the drug regimens of all patients; moxifloxacin and/or thioridazine were included in the regimens of 14 patients."5.38Successful alternative treatment of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in Argentina with a combination of linezolid, moxifloxacin and thioridazine. ( Abbate, E; Ambroggi, M; Cufré, M; García, A; Gonzalez Montaner, P; Natiello, M; Ritacco, V; van Soolingen, D; Vescovo, M, 2012)
"Thioridazine (TDZ) in combination with antibiotics to which extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is initially resistant yields a cure."2.48Why thioridazine in combination with antibiotics cures extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. ( Amaral, L; Viveiros, M, 2012)
"Thioridazine is a phenothiazine drug which has previously been extensively used for its antipsychotic properties as it is associated with a low risk of extra-pyramidal side-effects."2.47Thioridazine: the good and the bad. ( Thanacoody, RH, 2011)
"Linezolid was included in the drug regimens of all patients; moxifloxacin and/or thioridazine were included in the regimens of 14 patients."1.38Successful alternative treatment of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in Argentina with a combination of linezolid, moxifloxacin and thioridazine. ( Abbate, E; Ambroggi, M; Cufré, M; García, A; Gonzalez Montaner, P; Natiello, M; Ritacco, V; van Soolingen, D; Vescovo, M, 2012)
"Over a period of 14 years, the authors have studied thioridazine, an old neuroleptic, that has been shown to have in vitro activity against intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis, regardless of its antibiotic resistance status, thioridazine cures infected mice of antibiotic-susceptible and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) infections and, when used in combination with antibiotics used for therapy of TB, renders the organism significantly more susceptible."1.38Why and how thioridazine in combination with antibiotics to which the infective strain is resistant will cure totally drug-resistant tuberculosis. ( Amaral, L; Molnar, J, 2012)
"Thioridazine has proven anti tuberculous effects in vitro and in vivo mouse models and we used this drug as salvage therapy in 4 Indian patients with XDR (near total drug resistance) with advanced disease."1.37Safety and efficacy of thioridazine as salvage therapy in Indian patients with XDR-TB. ( Pinto, LM; Sen, T; Udwadia, ZF, 2011)
