This case presentation explores the critical issue of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) and its variants including multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB). It highlights the mechanisms leading to resistance, particularly focusing on poor treatment regimens and genetic mutations. Through two contrasting patient cases, one illustrating treatment failure and the other a success story, the importance of proper drug administration and the challenges of managing DR-TB are emphasized.
