Theoretical assessment of the relative incidences of sensitive andresistant tuberculosis epidemic in presence of drug treatment by Silvia Martorano Raimundo, Hyun Mo Yang, Ezio Venturino

“…Despite the availability of effective treatment, tuberculosis (TB)remains a major global cause of mortality.Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of TB thatis resistant to at least two drugs used for the treatment of TB,and originally is developed when a case of drug-susceptibleTB is improperly or incompletely treated.This work is concerned with a mathematical model to evaluate the effect ofMDR-TB on TB epidemic and its control.The model assessing the transmission dynamics of both drug-sensitive anddrug-resistant TB includes slow TB(cases that result from endogenous reactivation of susceptible andresistant latent infections). …”
