Abstract:

A study in Khayelitsha in the Western Cape illustrated the difficulty of retaining patients on drug-resistant TB treatment, a tendency that poses a significant threat to containing the spread of multidrug-resistant TB in the country, writes Sizulu Moyo. That drug-resistant TB is increasing year-on-year is clear when analysing the number of multidrug-resistant TB cases.
