Abstract

Multidrug -resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) is a serious threat to mankind. India has the highest number of MDRTB cases, although majority remain undiagnosed due to inadequate diagnostic infrastructure, leading to increased community transmission and mortality. This one-year observational retrospective study highlighted the effectiveness of the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) for prompt detection of drug-resistant TB by GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay and revealed its associated clinico-epidemiological factors. The overall detection rates of MTB and RRTB were 20.70 % and 20.86 % respectively. The pediatric population had 7.69 % rifampicin resistance, and HIV was strongly associated with the development of TB and RRTB (P < 0.01).

西孟加拉邦一家三级甲等医院采用 GeneXpert MTB/RIF 检测法检测耐药结核病的负担及其临床流行病学方面的问题。

耐多药结核病（MDRTB）是对人类的严重威胁。印度是耐多药结核病例最多的国家，但由于诊断基础设施不足，大多数病例仍未得到诊断，导致社区传播和死亡率上升。这项为期一年的观察性回顾研究强调了国家消除结核病计划（NTEP）通过 GeneXpert MTB/RIF 检测法及时发现耐药结核病的有效性，并揭示了与之相关的临床流行病学因素。MTB 和 RRTB 的总体检出率分别为 20.70% 和 20.86%。儿科人群的利福平耐药率为 7.69%，艾滋病毒与结核病和 RRTB 的发生密切相关（P＜0.05）。
