Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) still is one of the major health problems faced in India. India accounts for almost a quarter of TB cases worldwide. According to the Global TB Report 2017, 28 lakh new cases were reported in India. 4.5 lakh people die every year due to TB. Drug resistant TB is one of the major cause of mortality, H mono resistance being one of them. Sputum samples of patients who are eligible for Category 2 AKT and those who remain sputum positive after the initiation phase of Cat 1 AKT (Category 1 Anti Koch’s Treatment) are subjected to undergo Line Probe Assay (LPA) for drug sensitivity. The results from the study provides evidence that the standardized treatment schedule for new and previously treated patients with 1st line drugs is associated with H mono resistance and thus treatment failure and mortality.
