Surveillance for TB drug resistance using routine rapid diagnostic testing data: Methodological development and application in Brazil

2024-07-23

Abstract excerpt

Effectively responding to drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) requires accurate and timely information on resistance levels and trends. In contexts where use of drug susceptibility testing has not been universal, surveillance for rifampicin-resistance—one of the core drugs in the TB treatment regimen—has relied on resource-intensive and infrequent nationally-representative prevalence surveys. The expanded availabilit...
