Abstract | The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) can develop resistance to the antimicrobial drugs used to cure
the disease. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is TB that does not respond to at least the two
most powerful antituberculosis drugs. There were about 650, 000 cases of MDR-TB present in the world
in 2010. It is estimated that about 9% of these cases were XDR-TB. Reporting of suspected cases of
Tuberculosis is mandatory in Brazil. In 2011 Salvador ranked third among the Brazilian cities in number of
new cases of tuberculosis (2,500 cases/year) and MDR-TB (30 cases/year) with an estimated incidence of
70.1/100,000 inhab. We study the distribution of MDR-TB and XDR-TB in period of years (2004-2011). | pt_BR |
