BACKGROUND
• Multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB ) is caused by bacteria that are
resistant to the most effective anti-TB drugs (Isoniazid and
Rifampicin)
• According WHO(2013) estimates
 Half million new MDR-TB cases in the world emerge every year
 Only 3% get treatment
 150,000 persons die every year
 Ethiopia is – 7th among 22 high TB Burden countries
 15th among 27 MDR-TB

Cont……..
• MDR-TB-is a major threat for successful TB control in Ethiopia and
others
• Very expensive
• Treatment requires prolonged chemotherapy using second line
• Drugs toxicity and less effective
• Did not receive major attention ( though burden cases are high )
• Understanding factors for MDR-TB is important for prevention and
control strategy
• Therefore, the aim of this study to look at the predictors of MDR TB

Methodology
Study design, area, and Population
Area: St. Peter Hospital
 The only largest TB referral center in Ethiopia
Design: Hospital based unmatched case-control study design
• Conducted from Feb- March 2014
Population : All patients who were clinically diagnosed as TB at St. Peter
hospital
Cases (MDR-TB) : Tuberculosis patients with culture-proved mycobacterium
tuberculosis resistant at least to both Isoniazid (INH) and Rifampicin (RIF)
Controls (Non-MDR-TB): Tuberculosis patients with smear positive
mycobacterium tuberculosis who turned smear negative to the recent result
after 2nd, 5th,or 6th month of treatment course.

 Percentage HIV cases among Non MDR-TB:26%
 Odds ratio worth detecting :2.5 , and assuming a non-response rate of 10%
 Total sample size :206( Cases=103 and control=103)

Result & Discussion cont ….
• Previous history of tuberculosis and TB episode
 The odds of MDR-TB were higher among those who had history of previous TB
and more than one episode (AOR :20 &15, respectively)
This might be due to:
 the previous treatment outcome, default, treatment failure, or relapse
 or the patient may have had MDR-TB initially
• Consistent with
 Study done in Uganda, South Africa also showed that multiple/previous
TB episodes and treatment failure were significantly associated with
MDR-TB
Amref Health Africa
Result & Discussion cont ….
Treatment category
 Individuals who had category II treatment was higher among
MDR TB than Non-MDR-TB (AOR95%CI=16 (2.40,
108.56)
 This might be related to:
• Patients who fall to this group are individuals who had previous TB
treatment, relapse ,defaulters, or treatment failures
• Already they took first line combination of anti TB drug except
streptomycin on previous TB infection and they might have already
had MDR-TB at initiation of the category II regimen
Amref Health Africa
Result & Discussion cont ….
Type of TB
•
The odds of MDR-TB was 6 times higher among those who have
pulmonary TB than extra pulmonary
• This might be due to:
 Smear-positive pulmonary TB individuals have a high bacterial load and
may not respond to the treatment within a short period of time
 Or
 Might be associated with diagnostic difficulties
 Extra pulmonary MDR-TB the bacterial load is lower and difficult
for definite diagnosis comparing to pulmonary MDR-TB
Amref Health Africa
Conclusion and Recommendations
• History of previous TB, TB episode more than one time,
pulmonary type of TB, individuals who were treated with the
Category II regimen were predictors for MDR-TB
• The measures in controlling MDR-TB should give emphasize
those predictor factors
• Improving the diagnostic laboratory centers
