To estimate prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 2012, we performed microbiologic testing on acid-fast bacilli smear-positive sputum samples from patients previously treated for TB. Twenty (24%) of 84 specimens were consistent with MDR TB. A national drug-resistance survey is needed to determine MDR TB prevalence in Zimbabwe.
为了估计 2012 年津巴布韦哈拉雷地区耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)的流行情况,我们对先前经治的涂阳肺结核患者的痰标本进行了分枝杆菌培养和药敏试验。在 84 份标本中,有 20 份(24%)符合 MDR-TB 标准。需要开展全国性耐药调查以确定津巴布韦的 MDR-TB 流行率。
