Prevalence of Multidrug Resistance Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Using GeneXpert Assay in Northern Sudan, How Serious is the Situation?

2021-09-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there were 558000 new cases with resistance to Rifampicin, of which 82% had multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). <h4>Objectives:</h4> We aimed to identify the prevalence of MDR-TB in River Nile state, Sudan, and the risk factors contributing to its occurrence. <h4>Methods:</h4> This was a descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study inv...
