实施以社区为基础的直接观察治疗(DOT)的方案已证明在治疗结核病患者方面取得了成功。然而，考虑到感染耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)患者的管理和治疗的复杂性，利用社区DOT治疗MDR-TB患者只是在最近才成功尝试。我们描述了第一个这样的计划，并强调了创建一个成功的以社区为基础的耐多药结核病治疗计划的关键组成部分和最关键的挑战。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Programs implementing community-based directly observed therapy (DOT) have demonstrated success in the treatment of patients with tuberculosis. However, given complexities in the management and treatment of patients infected with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the utilization of community-based DOT to treat MDR-TB patients has only recently been successfully attempted. We describe the first such program and highlight the crucial components and most critical challenges to creating a successful community-based MDR-TB treatment program. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
