MDR-TB and XDR-TB: drug resistance and treatment outcomes.
The subject is quite topical, as TB programmes and clinicians are searching for solutions to treat MDR/XDR-TB most effectively. Recently published studies and a systematic review have shown that XDR-TB is associated with higher probability of failure and death, and lower probability of treatment success than MDR-TB [2–7]. The XDR-TB-defining drugs have been studied to evaluate their role in det...
متن کاملDrug Susceptibility Patterns in MDR-TB Patients: Challenges for Future Regimen Design. A Cross-Sectional Study
Globally, there is substantial concern regarding the challenges of treating complex drug resistance patterns in multidrug resistant tuberculosis cases. Utilising data from three different settings (Estonia, Latvia, Romania) we sought to contrast drug susceptibility profiles for multidrug resistant tuberculosis cases, highlight the difficulties in designing universal regimen, and inform future r...
متن کاملAdditional Drug Resistance Patterns among Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients in Korea: Implications for Regimen Design
Detailed information on additional drug resistance patterns of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is essential to build an effective treatment regimen; however, such data are scarce in Korea. We retrospectively analyzed the results of phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) of culture confirmed-TB patients from January 2010 to December 2014 in 7 university hospitals in Korea. MDR-TB...
متن کاملAnti-tuberculosis drug resistance among tuberculosis patients in Ukraine and risk factors for MDR-TB
Ukraine is one of the 10 countries in the world with the highest MDR-TB burden. With technical support from WHO, the national TB programme conducted the first countrywide survey from November 2013 to May 2014 to identify MDR-TB levels and its risk factors. MDR-TB was detected in 24.1% (95% CI: 20.7– 27.6) of new patients and 58.1% (95% CI: 52.1– 64.1) of previously treated patients. Risk factor...
متن کاملIs MDR-TB on the rise in Mozambique? Results of a national drug resistance survey
consider only the samples sent from regional or remote sources, the rate of indeterminate test result is still very low (one (0.3%) out of 317). The use of T-Cell Xtend for all samples shipped overnight is likely to have had a beneficial effect on older samples. The cold weather conditions had no influence on the rate of indeterminate results (all samples were sent and processed in winter). The...
