DOTS and case detection rate Objectives of WHO • Implementation of DOTS coverage ( Directly observed short course treatment) 100% • Case detection rate of at least 70% of smear positive pulmonary TB cases • Improve Cure rate > 80% • Non-compliance spread of infection lead to : MDR ( Resistance to INAH & Rifampicin ) XDR TB( MDR and resistance to at least 3 major second line drugs )
Risk factors predisposing to TB in % admitted at Poudre D`or Hospital
Conclusion • Incidence TB stable 10-14 /100,000 since 1995 • Incidence highest among age group 35-45 • Increase of extra-pulmonary TB since1992 • Low death rate < 1/100,000 since 1998 • Increase of TB among migrant workers noted since 1998 • Few cases of Co-infection TB / HIV-AIDS and MDR TB • Cases MDR TB not among HIV/AIDS patients
