India Report Tuberculosis Cases That Haven't Been Treated Impervious

Tuberculosis (TB / TB) is a lung disease that is still a scourge in society. In India a doctor revealed no cases of TB in the country's first truly resistant or immune to all drugs that are so difficult to treat.

Most of these cases occurred in poor areas and not spread widely. But experts believe may be many cases like this that have not been identified.

Currently experts expect cases of TB strains in India does not spread to other places, because most of these TB cases not infect from person to person but through a mutation that occurs in patients who are poorly maintained.

World Health Organization (WHO) has not been totally accepted term for drug resistent TB cases like that. WHO still uses the term extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR) for this case.

There is ample evidence to show that this condition could hardly be treated.
 
Hospitals in India initially been tested with various drugs and none of the drug that works, was considered sufficiently comprehensive assessment. This strain of TB seems to be really resistant to available drugs.

The doctors in Mumbai reported a total of 12 patients who failed with the initial treatment and did not respond well to the next stage drugs for 2-3 years, 3 of them had died.

There is little hope for the 9 patients who were alive, all living in poor areas of the slum. it had detected one patient also died of HIV-infected and cause death more quickly.

This condition can be caused by inappropriate prescribing of drugs, many of the doctors who do not understand how to treat TB properly or risk of drug resistance will increase if the recipe is wrong.

TB cases should be easily cured by taking antibiotics for 6-9 months. But if treatment disturbed the bacteria will become resistant strains and mutated so that more powerful that can no longer be killed by existing drugs.

If cases of TB resistant to two anti-TB drugs are the most powerful so the case was classified as multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR). But if the conditions are more severe than that or tuberculosis was extensively drug-resistant so-called extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR).

About 20 percent of MDR cases worldwide are in India, this condition makes India home to a quarter of all tuberculosis cases worldwide.
