“…As the rates in Istanbul were expected to be different from the rates in Turkey overall, the studies that were done in Istanbul were investigated. In a multi-center study from Istanbul involving 1,370 adult patients, the rate of resistance to at least one drug was found to be 24.8%, whereas the rate of resistance to INH was 12.5%, to RMP was 10%, to EMB was 4.4%, and to MDR was 6.7%; these rates were close to our results [20]. It can be concluded that anti-TB drug resistance rates are high in Istanbul.…”

“…In a recent study in Turkey, it was shown that primary resistance to INH and RIF is 8.6 and 5.6%, respectively, and acquired resistance is 25.3 and 26.5%, respectively, and the primary and secondary MDR rates were 3.1 and 18.5%, respectively (9). We conducted this study to determine drug resistance to anti-TB drugs among TB patients in the Duzce district in the northwest part of Turkey.…”
