Epidemiological and laboratory characteristics of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients in Bhutan, 2015-2019.

Background: Bhutan is no exception to the rising global threat of drug resistance tuberculosis (TB), particularly multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB. Although drug resistance surveillance has been carried out in Bhutan since 2010, limited analysis reports are available. Therefore, we looked at data from 2015-2019 to understand patient characteristics.
