Household contacts of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) are at high risk for being infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and for developing TB disease. To guide regimen composition for the empirical treatment of TB infection and disease in these household contacts, we estimated drug-resistance profile concordance between index patients with drug-resistant TB and their household contacts.
