<p>Rifampicin-Resistant <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> Among Patients with Presumptive Tuberculosis in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia</p>

Abstract

This study showed a decreasing trend of both MTB and RR-MTB from 2016 to 2018 in an MTB, MDR-MTB, and TB/HIV co-infection high-burden setting, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Occurrence of MTB and RR-MTB was associated with treatment history. Therefore, improvement in treatment adherence of identified cases would be helpful to prevent emergence or re-emergence of MTB and RR-MTB cases.
