Abstract | Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide (ranking above HIV/AIDS). About a quarter of the world's population is infected with TB and thus at risk of developing TB disease. The Global TB Report 2019 states that in 2018 a total of 1.5 million people died from TB, an estimated 10 million (range, 9.0–11.1 million) people fell ill worldwide.(1) Eight countries accounted for two-thirds of the total, with India leading the count, followed by China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and South Africa.(1) Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) remains a public health crisis and a health security threat. The WHO estimates that there were 484 000 new cases with resistance to rifampicin (RIF) – the most effective first-line drug, which accounts for 78% MDR-TB cases. The MDR-TB burden largely falls on three countries – India, China, and the Russian Federation. About 6.2% of MDR-TB cases had extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) in 2018. Worldwide, only 56% of MDR-TB patients are currently successfully treated. Globally, TB incidence is falling at about 2% per year. This needs to accelerate to a 4%–5% annual decline to reach the 2020 milestones of the End TB Strategy. |
