Description:Multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis disease is a major health threat globally. Nearly half a million MDR TB cases are estimated to occur worldwide annually, including cases that are extensively drug-resistant (XDR).While MDR and XDR TB are relatively rare (fewer than 100 cases per year) in the United States, their treatment comes at a terrible price — it is very expensive, takes a long time to complete, disrupts lives, and has potentially life-threatening side\effects. However, the number of drug-resistant cases in the United States remains stable due to effective control strategies.
