Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis: A Need for an Action Plan in Pakistan.
Infect Dis J Jan ;17(1):34-5.

The exact prevalence and burden of MDR-TB disease is not known in Pakistan. This is due to the fact that facilities for TB culture and sensitivity are available only at a few centers and only cases which do not respond to treatment are referred for culture. Hence the prevalence of MDR-TB is calculated only in the previously treated cases, which is the reason for a very high prevalence being reported in most studies. This is a review article.
