Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Pediatrics

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1995
As the incidence of tuberculosis in the United States has increased over the past 10 years, the number of cases caused by drug-resistant organisms has risen dramatically. The genetic mechanisms of resistance, which could lead to better methods of diagnosis and treatment, are being determined.

Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis in Africa

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001
Abstract: Africa has the highest incidence rate per capita of tuberculosis, although the rate varies among the African countries from 17.8% in Cameroon to 70% in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Nevertheless, the levels of drug resistance are relatively low, compared to countries like Russia and Estonia.

A tuberculosis drug-resistance register

Tubercle, 1961
Summary A register of 287 patients from whom bacilli resistant to the anti-tuberculosis drugs have been isolated, has been kept for the City of Birmingham from 1956–1959. An annual fall of 40% in patients newly found to be excreting these bacilli has been demonstrated.

Transitional drug-resistance in tuberculosis

Tubercle, 1971
Abstract The sensitivity test results during chemotherapy were studied of 468 patients with initially sensitive cultures. In all but 2 cases no resistant cultures were isolated. In 2 cases the final positive culture was resistant to isoniazid. One died and the other had no more positive cultures after a change of treatment.

GENETICS OF DRUG RESISTANCE IN TUBERCULOSIS

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1997
In the last few years, there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance to antimycobacterials. To date, there is information about 11 genes involved in resistance in M. tuberculosis. This has prompted the development of novel tests for the rapid identification of resistant strains, and has provided ...

Multiple-Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1994
The modern era of tuberculosis recently has been characterized by a rise in the number of cases of infection with multiple-drug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This acquisition of resistance to various established antituberculosis drugs has compromised both treatment and control programs worldwide.

Epidemiology of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis

2017
As we move into the era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed the End TB strategy 2016-2035 with a goal to end the global epidemic of tuberculosis (TB) by 2035. Achieving the targets laid out in the Strategy will require strengthening of the whole TB diagnosis and treatment cascade, including ...
