Pulmonary Versus Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis Associated Factors: A Case-Case Study

“…2,3,32,33 ETB presents a high mortality, considering the severity of some forms, like miliary or disseminate, and HIV prevalence. 34 Anti-tuberculosis drug resistance was more elevated in patients with PTB, and a small increment with respect to a previous study in Castellon was observed 35 ; multidrug-resistance was low, with only one PTB case.…”

Surveillance of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Spain (2001–2015)

“…13,15,16 With regard to findings for individual anti-TB drugs, resistance to streptomycin (3.0%) was higher than that reported by all except Aznar (16.9%) and Aragó (6.5%); other authors noted rates similar to those obtained here. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Resistance to isoniazid (5.3%) exceeded that recorded by any other author except Aznar (7.4%), while the ethambutol resistance rate (0.2%) was lower than those obtained by all except Aragó (3.9%) and Aznar (3.3%). Resistance to rifampicin (1.0%) was also lower than that reported in the literature for Spain; Remacha obtained rates of 3.8%, Aragó 2.6%, and Aznar 2.5%.…”

Resistencias de M. tuberculosis complex en Navarra: diferencias entre población autóctona e inmigrante (2000-2007)

“…En el periodo estudiado se ha producido un incremento en el número y porcentaje de aislamientos de M. tuberculosis de población inmigrante, pasando de un 17,4% en 2000 a un 32,8% en 2007. Éste es un hecho que se recoge en distintos trabajos españoles, y puede explicarse por el progresivo aumento de la inmigración en la última década [9][10][11] .…”
