The association between HIV and antituberculosis drug resistance.
In the UK, HIV is considered to be a risk factor for antituberculosis drug resistance. Evidence of the association is, however, inconclusive and there are few population-level data. The present study investigated the association in England and Wales during the period 1999-2005. National tuberculosis surveillance data for adults were matched to HIV/AIDS reports. Unmatched cases were assumed to b...
متن کاملAntituberculosis Drug Resistance Survey in Lesotho, 2008-2009: Lessons Learned
SETTING Drug resistance is an increasing threat to tuberculosis (TB) control worldwide. The World Health Organization advises monitoring for drug resistance, with either ongoing surveillance or periodic surveys. METHODS The antituberculosis drug resistance survey was conducted in Lesotho in 2008-2009. Basic demographic and TB history information was collected from individuals with positive sp...
متن کاملFive-antituberculosis Drug-resistance Genes Detection Using Array System
Detection of resistance to drugs for Mycobacterium tuberculosis takes about two months from the sample collection using culture-based methods. To test a rapid method for detection of resistance for five antituberculosis drugs using DNA microarray and to examine its potential for clinical use, we employed a DNA microarray for detection of seven mutations genes related to resistance of five kinds...
متن کاملPrimary drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to antituberculosis drugs.
Thirty two positive sputa from 104 untreated cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, were tested for sensitivities against antituberculosis drugs. Twenty four were positive on direct smear as well as culture while 8 were only culture positive. Nine (28%) were resistant to Isoniazid, 3 (9.4%) to Streptomycin and 2 (6.3%) were resistant to both the drugs. All the 32 were sensitive to Rifampicin and Etha...
متن کاملEpidemiology of antituberculosis drug resistance 2002-07: an updated analysis of the Global Project on Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance Surveillance.
BACKGROUND The Global Project on Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance has been gathering data since 1994. This study provides the latest data on the extent of drug resistance worldwide. METHODS Data for drug susceptibility were gathered from 90 726 patients in 83 countries and territories between 2002 and 2007. Standardised collection of results enabled comparison both between and within countri...
