Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is responsible for a large portion of morbidity and mortality worldwide. According to WHO report, TUBERCULOSIS is responsible for at least 2 million deaths per year, so 90% of these occurring in developing countries.Recently, it has been shown that multidrug-resistance (MDR) and extensively drug resistant TUBERCULOSIS (XDR-TB) are the most important factors cause death in patients with TUBERCULOSIS.Drug resistance of M TUBERCULOSIS has been implicated in many etiologies such as inadequate and incomplete treatment, host genetic factors and, HIV infection. The long duration of treatment, large amount of anti-TB drugs and their gastrointestinal side effects, are the most important causes of noncompliance in patients with TB. 4 MDR-TB (when resistance to isoniazid and rifampicin appears in combination), increases the numbers of individuals who need treatment with second-line drugs worldwide.
