Abstract:

While the global tuberculosis epidemic has shown a decline trend in recent years, the economic burden induced by drug-resistant tuberculosis has increased. The reason is that the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis is expensive, the course of the disease is prolonged, and the side effects of treatment are serious. The authors reviewed the economic burden of drug-resistant tuberculosis and revealed the current research status of the economic burden of drug-resistant tuberculosis and its influencing factors to provide a reference for subsequent researches and medical insurance policy formulation.
