Abstract

People previously treated for TB are at a higher risk of rifampicin-resistant or multidrug-resistant TB (RR/MDR-TB). Uganda's recent RR-TB estimates were not updated, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using programmatic data (2012-2021), we report on the distribution and trends in RR-TB among people previously treated for bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary TB (BC-PTB) across six TB clinics in Kampala, Uganda. The RR-TB prevalence between 2012 and 2015 was 0% (95% CI 0-2.3). The prevalence rose significantly in recent years to 7.0% (95% CI 4.4-10.8) between 2016 and 2021 (P < 0.001). RR-TB is increasing among people previously treated for BC-PTB in Kampala; surveillance for RR-TB should be enhanced.

以前接受过结核病治疗的人对利福平的耐药性增加。

以前接受过结核病治疗的人患耐利福平或耐多药结核病(RR/MDR-TB)的风险较高。乌干达最近的耐药结核病估计数没有更新，包括在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间。利用规划数据(2012-2021年)，我们报告了乌干达坎帕拉6家结核病诊所中曾接受细菌学确诊肺结核(BC-PTB)治疗的患者中耐药结核病的分布和趋势。2012年至2015年间，RR-TB患病率为0% (95% CI 0-2.3)。近年来，患病率在2016年至2021年间显著上升至7.0% (95% CI 4.4-10.8) (P < 0.001)。在坎帕拉以前接受过BC-PTB治疗的人群中，RR-TB正在增加;应加强对耐药结核病的监测。
