Efficacy of moxifloxacin combined with levofloxacin in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis

Abstract

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a clinically common respiratory-borne chronic infectious disease. Fluoroquinolone drugs can inhibit the replication and transcription of bacterial DNA and cause bacteria to die, and the antibacterial spectrum of such drugs is broad, especially for Mycobacterium tuberculosis-induced diseases. This article observes and compares the clinical efficacy of levofloxacin and moxifloxacin in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). At the end of the course of treatment, the treatment success rate was 76.4% in the control group and 68.2% in the treatment group. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The cavity reduction rate was 70.1% in the control group and 62.5% in the treatment group. Adverse reaction rate, the control group was 14.7% and the treatment group was 18.1%. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P <0.05). For multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, levofloxacin tablets and moxifloxacin tablets have similar effects in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, adverse drug reactions, and economically difficult multidrugresistant patients. Drug sensitivity indicates that they are sensitive to levofloxacin.
