Surveillance of anti-tuberculosis drug resistance
Following 15 years of intensive effort, high-quality surveillance data on anti-TB drug resistance are available for two thirds of all countries in the world. These data show where MDR-TB rates are highest and demonstrate that in selected settings a proper response can alleviate the problem. At the same time, global trends in rates of MDR-TB remain unclear, largely because national representative data are lacking in many large countries, including India and several African countries.
