Abstract:

Objective: To understand the epidemic situation and trend of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Hebei Province,providing scientific evidence for formulating suitable strategies for MDR-TB prevention and control for the province. Methods: A total of 14 surveillance counties (districts) in Hebei province were selected as drug resistance surveillance sites by simple random sampling.A total of 424 culture positive TB patients were selected from those surveillance sites in 2020. Isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RFP), ethambutol (EMB), streptomycin (Sm), kanamycin (Km), ofloxacin (Ofx), capreomycin (Cm), prothioisinamide (Pto),and sodium P-aminosalicylate (PAS) were tested for drug resistance with the proportional drug susceptibility test. Results: (1) Overall drug resistance: rate of resistance to INH was the highest in newly treated patients (9.19% (35/381)), rate of resistance to RFP was the highest in re-treated patients (13.95% (6/43)). Overall INH resistance rate was (9.43% (40/424)).(2) Monoresistance: the rate of monoresistance to RFP was the highest in newly treated patients, re-treated patients and all patients (1.84% (7/381), 6.98% (3/43), 2.36% (10/424), respectively). (3) Polydrug resistance: the INH+Sm resistance rate was the highest in newly treated patients (0.79% (3/381)), INH+Sm and INH+EMB+Sm resistance rate were the highest in retreated patients (both were 2.33% (1/43)), and INH+Sm resistance rate was the highest among all patients (0.94% (4/424)). (4) Multidrug resistance:INH+RFP and INH+RFP+Km+Ofx resistance rate were the highest in newly treated patients (both were 1.31% (5/381)), and INH+RFP+EMB resistance rate was the highest in retreated patients (4.65% (2/43)). The INH+RFP and INH+RFP+Km+Ofx resistance rates were the highest (both were 1.18% (5/424)) among all patients.The overall drug resistance rate was 34.20% (145/424), 33.07% (126/381) in newly treated patients and 44.19% (19/43) in retreated patients.The overall rate of multidrug resistance was 5.42% (23/424), 5.25% (20/381) in newly treated patients and 6.98% (3/43) in retreated patients. Conclusion: The situation of tuberculosis resistance in Hebei is serious in 2020.We should pay more attention on standardized use of first-line and second-line drugs, especially for Km and Ofx, to reduce drug resistance rate.
