Abstract

Objective: To evaluate treatment outcomes, adherence to therapy, and adverse events associated with the BPaL regimen in patients with pre-XDR tuberculosis managed at Hanoi Lung Hospital and the National Lung Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study with both retrospective and prospective components was conducted on 51 patients with pre-XDR tuberculosis treated with the BPaL regimen at the two hospitals during 2024–2025. Results: The treatment success rate was 92.2%; 84.3% of patients demonstrated good adherence. Adverse events occurred in 58.8% of patients, the majority being mild (grade 1–2); 7.8% experienced grade ≥3 events. The most common adverse events were elevated liver enzymes (29.4%), QTcF prolongation (23.6%), anemia (13.7%), and peripheral neuropathy (11.8%). Conclusion: The BPaL regimen with Linezolid 600 mg/day is safe, effective, and suitable for real-world implementation in Vietnam.
