Abstract

In this chapter the treatment of drug sensitive and drug resistant TB and timing of antiretroviral treatment for HIV infected patients will be reviewed. Emphasis is placed on results of recent trials of fluoroquinolones for treatment shortening of drug sensitive TB. The use of two relatively novel agents in MDR-TB treatment, bedaquiline and delamanid, will be discussed.
