I would need more information, but it sounds like the two lab tests do not match up. Patients can have TB that is sensitive to first line drugs and than later the TB can change to MDRTB. It is possible for a person to be infected with more than one strain of TB at different times in their life. Keep in mind that lab tests are not 100% accurate every time
