A small prospective study compared 12-month and 18-month regimens [18]. In that study, 28 patients received rifampin, isoniazid and ethambutol daily for 6 months, followed by rifampin and isoniazid to complete either 12 or 18 months of therapy.…”

La combinación de isoniacida (300 mg/día), rifampicina (600 mg/día) y etambutol (25 mg/kg/día los dos primeros meses y luego 15 mg/kg) suele ser el tratamiento inicial de elección en una pauta de 18 o de 12 meses (19).
