I am assuming this is for just curiosity sake, not that you know someone who has it! The treatment for the most resistant form of TB (aka, extreme drug resistant TB XDR TB) consists of four drugs: 1) Isoniazid (INH) 6 months 2) Rifampin 6 months 3) Pyrazinamide (PZA) 2 months 4) Ethambutol 2 months Dosages change with age and weight. Also, Vitamin B6 is added because PZA can interfere with the metabolism of B6 in your diet. Also, isolation for the first 21 days of treatment in a negative pressure room. Drugs intake afterwards must be monitored by a nurse daily, since some people stop taking them after they become assymptomatic. Hope that satisfies your curiosity, Dr. J
