Summary

This study tests whether adding acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) to a short-course drug regimen can safely and effectively treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

The main goals are to check safety and find the best dose of AHA, while also measuring how quickly the bacteria clear from sputum.
