    Preventing emergence of drug resistant tuberculosis in Myanmar’s transitioning health system

    Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a threat to the populations of resource-limited countries. Although inadequate treatment of TB is identified as a major underlying cause of drug resistance, essential information to inform changes in health service and policy is missing. This study examines the practices of patients and health care organizations and identifies high-risk TB patient groups that can be prioritized for treatment support.

    Are current case-finding methods under-diagnosing tuberculosis among women in Myanmar? An analysis of operational data from Yangon and the nationwide prevalence survey

    In Myanmar, 34 percent of nationally reported cases of tuberculosis (TB) are from women. The findings from this study suggest that socio-demographic and health service factors may influence TB case finding between men and women, resulting in barriers that drive lower TB case finding among women. Improving the sensitivity of tuberculosis diagnostic tools and methods at the township level could reduce these differences.
