Why Does MDR-TB Relapse After Treatment? - Tuberculosis Disease Guide

Why Does MDR-TB Relapse After Treatment? Have you ever wondered why some cases of tuberculosis return after treatment? In this detailed video, we will explain the main reasons behind the relapse of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). We’ll cover how the length and management of treatment can influence outcomes, and why incomplete or inconsistent medication use may allow bacteria to survive. You’ll learn about drug resistance—how bacteria become resistant to key medications and how this resistance can be transmitted from person to person. We’ll also discuss the impact of individual health factors such as age, other illnesses, and lifestyle choices that can weaken the immune system, making it harder to fully eliminate the bacteria. Additionally, we’ll explore how health system challenges like inadequate infrastructure and poor follow-up can contribute to treatment failure. Lastly, we’ll explain how dormant bacteria can hide in the body, only to reactivate later if treatment is stopped too soon. Understanding these factors is essential for preventing relapse and ensuring complete recovery. We’ll share practical tips on how healthcare providers and patients can work together to improve treatment adherence, utilize proper medication based on testing, and strengthen healthcare systems.
