Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is emerging as an important health problem in Togo. From sputum of previously treated TB patients, multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB was diagnosed in 24% (10/42) patients GeneXpert MTB/RIF compared to 25% (6/24) patients conventional drug susceptibility testing (BACTEC MGIT 960 system). The agreement between these two methods to detect MDR-TB is excellent. However, GeneXpert MTB/RIF offers the advantage of rapidly detecting complex in sputum samples in instances where the cultures are negative (33%, 14/42) or contaminated (9.5%, 4/42). GeneXpert MTB/RIF permitted us to estimate the prevalence of MDR-TB in previously treated TB patients and to improve TB diagnostics among HIV-positive and -negative patients in Togo, where culturing complex from sputum samples is challenging.
耐药结核病在多哥正成为一个重要的健康问题。在之前接受过治疗的结核病患者痰液样本中，通过GeneXpert MTB/RIF检测出24%（10/42）的患者患有耐多药（MDR）结核病，相比之下，通过传统药敏试验（BACTEC MGIT 960系统）检测出25%（6/24）的患者患有MDR结核病。这两种检测MDR结核病方法之间的一致性非常好。然而，GeneXpert MTB/RIF具有在培养结果为阴性（33%，14/42）或受污染（9.5%，4/42）的情况下快速检测痰液样本中结核分枝杆菌复合群的优势。GeneXpert MTB/RIF使我们能够估计之前接受过治疗的结核病患者中MDR结核病的患病率，并改善多哥艾滋病毒阳性和阴性患者的结核病诊断，在多哥，从痰液样本中培养结核分枝杆菌复合群具有挑战性。
