Can Multidrug‐Resistant and Extensively Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis be Treated More Successfully? [PDF]
Public Health ChallDrug‐resistant cases of tuberculosis are increasing, complicating treatment strategies. Prior to the development of pharmacological agents, improving patient health at institutions called ‘sanatoria’ was a successful primary treatment. World Health Organization data combined with information from historical reports estimate that current treatments can ...

Resistance patterns and trends of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis: 5-year experience [PDF]
Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2013 Objective: Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) strains were emerged when multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) was inadequately treated. Inadequate treatment of MDR-TB cases may result in additional resistance especially non-XDR-TB and then XDR-TB.
