Efficacy and Safety of Levofloxacin vs. Isoniazid for the Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Liver Transplant Recipients Phase III stuy, multicentric, prospective, randomized, and open Candidates for liver transplantation. FLISH Study. Phase III stuy, multicentric, prospective, randomized, and open Candidates for liver transplantation. FLISH Study. Group A (usual practice): isoniazid 300 mg / day for 9 months beginning after the transplant, when the "liver function is stable" and not before 3 months and after 6 months. Group B (experimental): levofloxacin 500 mg daily for 9 months (commencing on the waiting list). Primary endpoint: difference in the incidence of TBC in both groups at 18 months of follow-up after transplantation. Sample size: n = 870 patients. 16 centers in Spain

Conclusions Incidence > general population - Reactivation - Mortality > 30% - Clinical presentation: atypical and diverse - Treatment requires control of interactions - Prophylaxis is complicated because of: - Difficulty in identifying pts at risk - Toxicity of therapy. - Incidence > general population - Reactivation - Mortality > 30% - Clinical presentation: atypical and diverse - Treatment requires control of interactions - Prophylaxis is complicated because of: - Difficulty in identifying pts at risk - Toxicity of therapy.
