Outline the current CDC guidelines for the treatment of LTBI
What would be an ideal response?
The four current treatment regimens use isoniazid (INH), rifapentine (RPT), or rifampin (RIF). The
first involve the administration of INH for 6 to 9 months, either daily or twice weekly. INH can be
combined with RPT and administered once weekly for a minimum of 12 weeks. The last regimen
consists of monotherapy with RIF daily for 4 months. Treatment must be modified if the patient is a
contact of an individual with multidrug-resistant TB or is HIV positive.
