Multi-Drug Resistant and Extensively-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2020
India is one of the high burden countries for tuberculosis (TB) including multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively-drug resistant (XDR) TB. Drug-resistant (DR) TB has threatened the TB care and is a major health problem in many countries; treatment of DR TB has been difficult requiring use of reserve or second-line drugs, cost factors, has ...

Cutaneous Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007
A 48-year-old immunocompetent man without known exposure to tuberculosis had a > 10-year history of recurrent skin lesions.

Multidrug and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis

Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 2017
The emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) compromises global tuberculosis control. The incidence of multidrug-resistant strains (MDR) defined as resistant to the two main antituberculosis drugs, rifampicin and isoniazid, was raised in the 1990s.

Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis

2014
It has been many years since a single agent was recommended for treatment of active tuberculosis (TB). Despite this, there is strong evidence that multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) are present in all regions of the world, and there is also evidence that the incidence of drug-resistant forms of TB is increasing ...
