SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

medicine

Drug-resistant tuberculosis, lebanon, 2016-2017

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 25, No. 3, Year 2019

In a 12-month nationwide study on the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in Lebanon, we identified 3 multidrug-resistant cases and 3 extensively drug-resistant TB cases in refugees, migrants, and 1 Lebanon resident. Enhanced diagnostics, particularly in major destinations for refugees, asylum seekers, and migrant workers, can inform treatment decisions and may help prevent the spread of drug-resistant TB.
