Analysis on the epidemiological and drug resistance characteristics of osteoarticular tuberculosis in South-central China
In South-central China, OATB mainly affected males, farmers and those aged 20-29 and 60-69 years old. Spinal TB is prone to occur in the lumbar and multiple spinal sites. The resistance situation of OATB was serious, and people aged 40-49 years old and patients from the west of Hunan were risk factors of RR/MDR. All these findings will help to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies of OATB.
