Call for special attention to the caregiver burden of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis in low- and middle-income countries

This study briefly summarized the risk factors for the imposition of a TB-related CB and reasons why caregivers for patients with M/XDR-TB are more susceptible to a CB. We propose that special measures should be implemented to alleviate the TB-related CB based on our clinical experience and insights from China. This may improve the situation of caregivers for TB patients and ultimately improve the quality of life of TB patients.PMID:37839889 | DOI:10.5582/bst.2023.01243
