Prevalência de Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistente em pacientes sob tratamento parcialmente intermitente ou sob tratamento diário

Abstract: Objective: To compare the prevalence rates of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients under intermittent treatment with those observed in patients under daily treatment. Methods: We used World Health Organization data regarding 5,138 patients with active pulmonary TB in Brazil, separated into two groups: patients in the Federal District of Brasília, treated with a one-month daily regimen followed by an intermittent thriceweekly regimen; and patients in other parts of Brazil, treated with a daily … Show more
