Abstract

Experience with delamanid (Dlm) is limited, particularly among HIV-positive individuals. This study describes early efficacy and safety from a programmatic setting in South Africa.

This was a retrospective cohort study of patients receiving Dlm-containing treatment regimens between November 2015 and August 2017.

This research was supported by the UK Department for International Development’s Operational Research Capacity Building Programme led by the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease (The Union)
