Abstract

In Sichuan, ATD resistance has improved since 2014, but to date, it remains severe. The different resistance profiles of TBw/oHIV patients and TB-HIV patients indicates the need for personalized treatment plans. Specifically, the GeneXpert assay might be more suitable for TBw/oHIV patients than for TB-HIV patients.
