Tuberculosis Recurrence and Mortality after Successful Treatment: Impact of Drug Resistance
BACKGROUND The DOTS (directly observed treatment short-course) strategy for tuberculosis (TB) control is recommended by the World Health Organization globally. However, there are few studies of long-term TB treatment outcomes from DOTS programs in high-burden settings and particularly settings of high drug resistance. A DOTS program was implemented progressively in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan st...
متن کاملRecurrence after Successful Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Taiwan
Recurrence after successful treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is challenging because of limited retreatment options. This study aimed to determine rates and predictors of MDR-TB recurrence after successful treatment in Taiwan. Recurrence rates were analyzed by time from treatment completion in 295 M DR-TB patients in a national cohort. Factors associated with MDR-TB recurr...
متن کاملExcessive Cytolytic Responses Predict Tuberculosis Relapse After Apparently Successful Treatment
BACKGROUND Currently, there are no tools to accurately predict tuberculosis relapse. This study aimed to determine whether patients who experience tuberculosis relapse have different immune responses to mycobacteria in vitro than patients who remain cured for 2 years. METHODS Patients with an initial episode of pulmonary tuberculosis were recruited in South Africa. Diluted blood, collected at...
متن کاملSmoking increases the risk of relapse after successful tuberculosis treatment
BACKGROUND Recent tobacco smoking has been identified as a risk factor for developing tuberculosis, and two studies which have investigated its association with relapse of tuberculosis after completion of treatment had conflicting results (and did not control for confounding). The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors for tuberculosis relapse, with emphasis on smoking. METHO...
متن کاملChronic airflow obstruction after successful treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
Cross-sectional studies reveal an association between tuberculosis (TB) and chronic airflow obstruction, but cannot adequately address confounding. We hypothesised that treated pulmonary TB is an independent risk factor for chronic airflow obstruction. The Pulmones Post TB cohort study enrolled participants from Lima, Peru, aged 10-70 years with a history of drug-susceptible (DS)- or multidrug-...
