- Title
Incidence of Hospital Admissions With Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Among South African Health Care Workers.
- Abstract
The article features research that investigates the hospital admissions of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among healthcare workers in South Africa. Researchers reviewed the 4382 patients admitted to hospitals between 2003 to 2008 and found that 231 were health care workers, while 4151 were non-healthcare workers. They also found that these individuals were hospitalized to start treatment for either multidrug-resistant tuberculosis or extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis.
