Prevalence of Rifampicin resistance in newly diagnosed and previously treated cases of pulmonary tuberculosis by Xpert MTB / RIF assay
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: • To determine the prevalence of Rifampicin resistance in new and previously treated PTB • To compare Rifampicin resistance obtained by Xpert and proportion method • To determine the prevalence of Isoniazid mono-resistance by proportion method Design: is cross-sectional study was carried over a period of one year (January - December 2015). Results: In 100 new TB suspects, smear positivity was 21% and culture positivity was 49%. Xpert assay detected MTB in 46% cases. In 100 previously treated cases, smear positivity was 40% and culture as well as Xpert MTB/RIF assay positivity was 47%. Xpert MTB/RIF assay has a sensitivity of 93.75% and specificity of 97.11% as compared to culture. Six (12.24%) Rifampicin resistant cases were observed in new TB cases & 19 (40.42%) in previously treated cases. All Rifampicin resistant cases were Isoniazid resistant also. INH mono-resistance was observed in nine cases. Conclusion: Rifampicin resistance, a surrogate marker of MDR-TB is more prevalent in previously treated cases. Xpert MTB/RIF assay provide the muchneeded diagnostic capacity for effective identification of MDR TB cases in lesser time.
