SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

medicine

International spread of MDR TB from Tugela Ferry, South Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 17, No. 11, Year 2011

We describe a death associated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and HIV infection outside Africa that can be linked to Tugela Ferry (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa), the town most closely associated with the regional epidemic of drug-resistant tuberculosis. This case underscores the international relevance of this regional epidemic, particularly among health care workers.
