Drug Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in a Rural Setting, Angola.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We found high prevalence rates of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among retreatment patients (71.1%) and persons with new cases (8.0%) in Angola. These findings are of concern but should be interpreted with caution. A national drug-resistance survey is urgently needed to determine the actual prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Angola.
