Adverse events reported during weekly isoniazid-rifapentine (3HP) tuberculosis preventive treatment among people living with HIV in Uganda.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Short-course tuberculosis (TB) prevention regimens, including 12 weeks of isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP), are increasingly used in high TB-burden countries. Despite established safety and tolerability in efficacy trials, 3HP-related adverse events (AE) could differ in routine settings. Real-world data on AE type, frequency, and timing is crucial for health systems considering 3HP programmatic scale-up.

Methods

We reviewed AEs among people living with HIV (PLHIV) participating in a pragmatic implementation trial of facilitated 3HP taken by directly observed therapy (DOT) or self-administered therapy (SAT) in Kampala, Uganda, and classified them using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. We assessed AE timing and summarized related clinical actions i
