Background: Tuberculosis is one of the major public health concerns in many countries, however the available and effective treatment is known. Tuberculosis typically determined with socio-economic problems such as war, malnutrition and HIV prevalence. In Iran, many progresses are carried to control tuberculosis but, different factors such as immigration from neighboring countries are affective to tuberculosis infection. Objectives: In this paper, the incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis is evaluated in different regions of Iran and neighboring countries. Methods: The data are collected from different and valid sources such as Scopus, Pubmed and also many reports from world health organization (WHO) and center of disease control and prevention (CDC) for a period of 25 years (1990 -2015) evaluated for Iran and neighboring countries. Results: This study as a descriptive-analytical research is conducted cross-sectional among Iran and neighboring countries since 1990. The information is obtained from exact and valid informative data from web of sciences. The east and west border countries of Iran which are faced with war and immigration in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq are source of tuberculosis infection that effect on tuberculosis prevalence in Iran. The data were analyzed by SPSS 22 and Excel 2013. Conclusions:The incidence of tuberculosis in Iran has been decreased because of many controlling actions such as BCG vaccination, electronic reporting system for tuberculosis and free access to tuberculosis medication. Some of Iran neighboring countries such as Tajikistan and Pakistan have the highest incidence of tuberculosis which known as a challenge for tuberculosis control in Iran while Saudi Arabia and Turkey have the lowest incidence.

“…Thus, MDR-TB incidence increased from 4.6 to 5.2 per 100 thousand of population, and the proportion of patients with MDR-TB among persons with bacterial excretion at pulmonary tuberculosis was 47.3%. At the same time, the bacterial load of respiratory material of patients with MDR/XDR-TB does not differ from that in the drug sensitivity tuberculosis, indicating the viability of the pathogen, even with a wide range of its resistance to anti-TB drugs and high epidemiological risks of such strains [2]. …”

Bi-logistic model for disease dynamics caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Russia

et al. 2017

In this work, we explore epidemiological dynamics by the example of tuberculosis in Russian Federation. It has been shown that the epidemiological dynamics correlates linearly with the virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during the period 1987–2012. To construct an appropriate model, we have analysed (using LogLet decomposition method) epidemiological World Health Organization (WHO) data (period 1980–2014) and obtained, as result of their integration, a curve approximated by a bi-logistic function. This fact allows a subdivision of the whole population into parts, each of them satisfies the Verhulst-like models with different constant virulences introduced into each subsystem separately. Such a subdivision could be interconnected with the heterogeneous structure of mycobacterial population that has a high ability of adaptation to the host and strong mutability.

“…6 In Russia, if the current trends continue, the incidence of drug-resistant TB could be higher than the incidence of drug-sensitive TB within the next few years. 7 Prisons seem to be places where the incidence of TB (including drug-resistant forms) is particularly high. 7,8 In China, a recent survey concluded that the proportion of MDR-TB cases among new and previously treated patients is 5.7 % and 25.6 %, respectively, and the total number of MDR-TB cases is about 110,000.…”

Tuberculosis Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis – From Epidemiology to Treatment Design

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) are present in most regions of the world and represent a serious threat to the control of tuberculosis. They usually result from errors somewhere along the chain of management of the disease that favoured the selection of resistant mutants, progressively replacing drug-sensitive strains and transmitted to further patients. The currently recommended strategies for the control of this serious situation is the rapid identification of drug-resistant strains, careful drug management of patients with second-line drugs and prevention of the transmission of mycobacteria to contacts. Optimal selection and number of drugs and duration of treatment are not clearly defined. Prevention of the creation of additional cases of MDR-TB is crucial.

The latest reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate the number of MDR-TB to half a million cases, of which 10 % are XDR-TB, a large part being left untreated, with a high death burden.2 In some regions of the world or in some at-risk populations, like gold miners in South Africa, the rate of MDR-TB is increasing rapidly, particularly in previously treated cases, in spite of the fact that the global incidence rate in the same population had decreased during the same time period.3 Recent reports reveal alarming levels of drug-resistant TB in many Eastern European regions, 4 such as Belarus, where the rates reach 35.3 % in new patients and 76.5 % among previously treated cases 5 or in Ukraine, where the association with HIV seems to increase the problem. 6 In Russia, if the current trends continue, the incidence of drug-resistant TB could be higher than the incidence of drug-sensitive TB within the next few years.7 Prisons seem to be places where the incidence of TB (including drug-resistant forms) is particularly high. 7,8 In China, a recent survey concluded that the proportion of MDR-TB cases among new and previously treated patients is 5.7 % and 25.6 %, respectively, and the total number of MDR-TB cases is about 110,000. 9 The increase in drugresistant TB is also observed in children in some regions of the world.
