Clinical features of XDR-TB patients

Conclusion: Failure of prior treatment is the greatest predictor of XDR-TB. The default of previous treatment does not increase the frequency of XDR-TB compared with MDR-TB. No impact on the risk of XDR-TB HIV infection, age and rural residence has been identified. The highest epidemic danger of XDR-TB patients is noted.
