There has been a steady increase in referrals of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative. Between 1986 and 1999, 40 patients were admitted to the authors' institution, eight of whom were admitted between January and June 1999. The management of such individuals is difficult. Although they are a clinically and epidemiologically important group of patients, few reports detail their management.
