High prevalence of multi drug resistant tuberculosis in people living with HIV in Western India
2019
Background
Most studies assessing drug resistant tuberculosis (DRTB) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected patients in India have used conventional culture- based systems to diagnose DRTB that have a longer turnaround time leading to risk of amplification of resistance to an empirical regimen. We determined the prevalence of DRTB amongst people living with HIV (PLHIV) using the line probe assay and determined risk factors associated with the presence of multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB).
