    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • A significant national increase in tuberculosis (TB) cases occurred between 1985 and 1992, reversing a long-term decline.
    • This resurgence is characterized by its association with HIV-infected populations and the rise of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze current epidemiological trends and demographic factors of the TB resurgence.
    • To discuss contemporary treatment approaches for TB.
    • To explore the implications of MDR-TB, particularly for the field of dentistry.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of national TB case reporting data from 1985-1992.
    • Analysis of demographic and risk factor data associated with TB cases.
    • Examination of treatment outcomes and resistance patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Reported TB cases increased by 20.1% nationally during the study period.
    • A strong correlation was observed between TB incidence and HIV-infected individuals.
    • The emergence and spread of MDR-TB were identified as critical factors in the epidemic's trajectory.

    Conclusions:

    • The TB epidemic reversal necessitates updated public health strategies.
    • The co-occurrence of TB and HIV requires integrated care approaches.
    • MDR-TB poses significant challenges, demanding specific attention in clinical settings, including dentistry.
