Characteristics of Newly Identified Patients with Infiltrative Pulmonary Multidrug‐Resistant Tuberculosis in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)
Abstract
This paper presents social and clinical data on newly identified patients with pulmonary infiltrative multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) treated at the Therapy Department for Pulmonary Tuberculosis no.3, the Research&Practice Center for Tuberculosis. The majority of the patients were unemployed individuals of active working age, with the history of close family exposure to sputum-positive case. Most often, tuberculosis was detected on presentation to a doctor, and the detected cases were mostly cases with extensive destructive disease and high bacterial loads of multidrug-resistant M.tuberculosis.
