    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Global rise in tuberculosis morbidity and mortality rates observed in Europe, USA, and developing nations.
    • Co-occurrence of endogenic reactivation and exogenic superinfection contributing to TB transmission.
    • Emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) presents significant treatment challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the increasing global burden of tuberculosis.
    • To address the challenges posed by multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
    • To emphasize the need for early and aggressive treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent epidemiological trends in tuberculosis.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and treatment outcomes in MDR-TB cases.
    • Assessment of therapeutic efficacy in the context of drug resistance.

    Main Results:

    • Significant increases in tuberculosis morbidity noted in Western/Eastern Europe and the USA.
    • Persistent high morbidity and mortality rates in developing countries.
    • Prolonged disease courses and acute progressive forms observed in multidrug-resistant cases, leading to reduced therapeutic efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • The rise in tuberculosis, particularly MDR-TB, necessitates urgent public health interventions.
    • Effective management of MDR-TB requires early initiation of combination therapy with 4-5 antituberculous agents.
    • Addressing global TB disparities and drug resistance is critical for improving patient outcomes.
