Abstract:

Objective To explore the epidemic and influencing factors of drug-resistant tuberculosis in border and non-border area of Guangxi.Methods From February 2016 to June 2017, five cities including Guilin, Guigang, Chongzuo, Baise and Fangchenggang located on East, West, South, North and Central of Guangxi were selected as the research sites. Among them, three cities including Baise, Chongzuo and Fangchenggang bordering Vietnam were in the border group, and the other two cities, Guilin and Guigang, which are not bordering Vietnam, were in the non-border group. Tuberculosis patients registered at the survey site during the study, positive for sputum smear and isolated Mycobacterium tuberculosis, were included in the study. Proportional method was used to test drug resistance of the clinical isolates in two groups. A total of 1306 patients were enrolled in the study, including 631 in the border group and 675 in the non-border group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze influencing factors of drug resistance in the two groups.Results The rates of total drug resistance (18.1%, 114/631), single drug resistant (SDR) (9.5%,60/631), poly-drug resistant (PDR) (2.7%,17/631) and multidrug resistant (MDR) (5.9%,37/631) in the border group are higher than those in the non-border group ((11.1%,75/675), (7.7%,52/675), (1.8%,12/675), and (1.6%,11/675), respectively). The differences of the total resistance rate and MDR rate were statistically significant between the two groups ( χ total 2 =12.75, χ MDR 2 =16.52, Ps<0.05). Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factor of tuberculosis resistance in border areas and non-border areas were patient types, and retreatment was a risk factor for drug resistance in tuberculosis patients in two groups. The OR values were 1.86 (95%CI: 1.13-3.05, Wald χ 2=5.97, P=0.015) in the border group and 2.72 (95%CI: 1.39-5.33, Wald χ 2=8.45, P=0.004) in the non-border group. Conclusion The drug resistance rate of tuberculosis patients in border area is higher than that in non-border area in Guangxi, retreatment was the influencing factor of drug resistance in both regions.
