WHO Guidelines
​
In the latest World Health Organisation (WHO) consolidated guidelines on tuberculosis, new recommendations have been established for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) preventive treatment among household contacts. These guidelines are grounded in evidence from the VQUIN MDR trial—a pivotal study that evaluated the efficacy of levofloxacin in preventing the development of active TB in latently infected contacts of MDR-TB index patients, doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2019-033945.
