| | In clinical trials, daily isoniazid treatment for latent infection for 12 months reduced the risk for TB disease by more than 90% in patients who completed a full course of therapy. | | | When isoniazid is given alone to persons with active TB disease, resistance to isoniazid is likely to develop. | | | There is evidence that 6 months of treatment for LTBI with isoniazid can also confer a high degree of protection (approximately 70% in patients who complete the regimen) against the progression of TB infection to TB disease. |
