Turning off the spigot: reducing drug-resistant tuberculosis transmission in resource-limited settings.
Ongoing transmission and re-infection, primarily in congregate settings, is a key factor fueling the global multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR-TB) epidemic, especially in association with the human immunodeficiency virus. Even as efforts to broadly implement conventional TB transmission control measures begin, current strategies may be incompletely effective un...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant Tuberculosis Management in Resource-limited Settings
Evidence of successful management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) is mainly generated from referral hospitals in high-income countries. We evaluate the management of MDRTB in 5 resource-limited countries: Estonia, Latvia, Peru, the Philippines, and the Russian Federation. All projects were approved by the Green Light Committee for access to quality-assured second-line drugs provided...
متن کاملOptimising Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection in resource limited settings
OBJECTIVES The light-emitting diode (LED) fluorescence microscopy has made acid-fast bacilli (AFB) detection faster and efficient although its optimal performance in resource-limited settings is still being studied. We assessed the optimal performances of light and fluorescence microscopy in routine conditions of a resource-limited setting and evaluated the digestion time for sputum samples for...
متن کاملResuscitation in resource-limited settings.
Intrapartum-related hypoxia leading to deaths and disabilities continues to be a global challenge, especially in resource-limited settings. Primary prevention during labour is likely to have a significant impact, but secondary prevention with focus on immediate basic stabilization at birth can effectively reduce a large proportion of these adverse outcomes as demonstrated in the resource-rich s...
متن کاملMother to Child Transmission of Tuberculosis, a Problem in Resource Limited Settings under Reported or Undiagnosed - A Case Report
V.M was a previously well 16 day old female child who presented to the emergency department at Harare Central Children’s Hospital with a one day’s history of fever and hot body of concurrent onset. Delivered institutionally through the normal vaginal route (cephalic presentation) and near term, she had no apparent risk factors for neonatal sepsis. Her birth weight was 2800 g and APGAR scores we...
