Criteria for the control of drug-resistant tuberculosis

Criteria for the control of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Antibiotic resistance is a growing impediment to the control of infectious diseases worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) being among them. TB kills two million people each year and foci of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) have been identified in Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. A critical question for health policy is whether standardized short-course chemotherapy for TB, based on cheap ...

Shifting gears to control drug-resistant tuberculosis.

TO THE EDITOR—How does the global community gain more traction in an effort to combat multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis globally? We have considered whether it would be helpful to address MDR tuberculosis as a separate epidemic. We introduced the idea because the dominant strategy globally for the past 2 decades has been based on the premise that MDR tuberculosis could be controlled by str...

Prevention and control of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis

Noting the progress made since 1991 towards achieving the international targets for 2005, the acceleration of efforts following the establishment of the Stop TB Partnership in response to resolution WHA51.13, and more recently following resolution WHA58.14 encouraging Member States to ensure availability of sufficient resources to achieve the internationally agreed goal relevant to tuberculosis...
