What action should be taken after receiving an LPA result showing Hdh and Pto resistance with no FQ resistance?

In the context of interpreting LPA results in tuberculosis (TB) treatment, it is crucial to analyze the implications of resistance patterns indicated by the LPA (Line Probe Assay). The scenario presents a result showing Hdh (isoniazid resistance) and Pto (pyrazinamide resistance) without fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance. This specific information guides the decision on how best to proceed with treatment.

Once it is established that there is no resistance to fluoroquinolones, it indicates that these medications are still effective options for treating the patient. Shifting to a regimen that includes a second-line oral regimen (SLOR) while ensuring that the fluoroquinolone remains sensitive (FQ-S) is appropriate. By doing so, the treatment plan can optimally combat the resistant strains of TB while maximizing the effectiveness of the remaining drugs.

The other options do not adequately address the resistance pattern indicated by the LPA. Shifting to an SLOR regimen for a fluoroquinolone resistance (FQ-R) would not be beneficial since the fluoroquinolone is still effective. Reviewing the initial regimen, while it can be a good practice in certain circumstances, does not directly address the need to adapt treatment based on
