SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

medicine

Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in women, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 17, No. 10, Year 2011

To determine whether women in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, with drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) were more likely than men to have extensively drug-resistant TB, we reviewed 4,514 adults admitted during 2003-2008 for drug-resistant TB. Female sex independently predicted extensively drug-resistant TB, even after we controlled for HIV infection. This association needs further study.
