ANALYSIS ON MONITORING RESULTS OF RESISTANCE OF ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS DRUG IN CHONGQING

[Objective]To find out the current status of drug-resistance of pulmonary tuberculosis in Chongqing and evaluate the control effect on pulmonary tuberculosis,to provide evidence for developing strategies on control and prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis.[Methods]According to the Guidelines for tuberculosis drug-resistance monitoring of WHO/IUATLD,we identified the bacterial types of positive samples from new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients.[Results]We tested 1 119 samples in 2005.The drug resistance rate and multi-drug resistant rate were 14.9% and 4.6% respectively.The initial drug resistance rate and initial multi-drug resistance rate were 11.0% and 2.4% respectively,and the acquired drug resistance and acquired multi-drug resistance rate were 40.8% and 19.7%.[Conclusion]The results suggest that the drug resistance still ranks low in Chongqing.We should improve the quality of DOTS and strengthen the expansion of DOTS to control the epidemic of drug-resistance of pulmonary tuberculosis.
