MDR-TB. Another challenge from the microbial world



BG Shearer

Beginning in 1985, the long decline in TB cases was dramatically reversed; from 1985 through 1992 reported cases increased 20.1 percent nationally. Two characteristics of this resurgent epidemic are unique: its prevalence among immunocompromised HIV-infected people and the emergence of multidrug-resistant TB. Current epidemiological trends, demographics and treatment approaches are discussed, as well as the implications MDR-TB holds for dentistry.
