Though national tuberculosis control programs are generally well structured, they do not collect information on adverse effects of drug directly. This study had been designed to observe the pattern of adverse effe...

متن کاملCosts of inpatient treatment for multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis in South Africa.
BACKGROUND In South Africa, patients with multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) are hospitalised from MDR-TB treatment initiation until culture conversion. Although MDR-TB accounts for <3% of incident TB in South Africa, 55% of the public sector TB budget is spent on MDR-TB. To inform new strategies for MDR-TB management, we estimated the per-patient cost (USD 2011) of inpatient MDR-TB tre...
متن کاملTransmission of Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in South Africa.
