Six countries (Azerbaijan,the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India, Indonesia,the Russian Federation and Ukraine) still rely on drugresistance surveillance data gathered from limited subnationalareas. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo,logistic issues have prevented the implementation of anationwide survey. In Indonesia, after two surveys at provinciallevel, the national TB control programme (NTP)has opted to work towards establishing a nationwide sentinelsystem to monitor drug resistance. Concrete plansexist in Azerbaijan and Ukraine to start nationwide surveysin 2012. Drug resistance surveys are ongoing inBrazil, Ethiopia, Kenya, Pakistan, the Philippines, SouthAfrica and Viet Nam.By the end of 2011, India and the Russian Federation,which combined with China contribute to almost 60%of the estimated global burden of MDR-TB, had producedreliable data only at subnational level. These countriesshould consider conducting nationwide drug resistancesurveys in the short term to better understand the burdenof MDR-TB and properly plan diagnostic and treatmentservices.Routine surveillance represents the best approach formeasuring drug resistance and monitoring trends. Amongthe 27 high MDR-TB and 22 high TB burden countries,Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Republic of Moldova and theBaltic States now have proper routine surveillance systemsto monitor drug resistance.A group of countries – Benin, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia,El Salvador, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Nicaraguaand Rwanda – that relied on special surveys to monitordrug resistance have established a routine surveillancesystem for all previously treated cases. This is the firststep towards routine drug susceptibility testing for all TBpatients.Central and Francophone Africa remain the regionswhere drug resistance surveillance data are most lacking,largely as a result of the scarce laboratory infrastructure.4.1.2 Percentage of new and previously treated TBcases that have MDR-TB<strong>Global</strong>ly, 3.7% (2.1–5.2%) of new cases and 20% (13–26%) of previously treated cases are estimated to haveMDR-TB (Chapter 2).The proportions of new TB cases with MDR-TB at countrylevel are shown in Figure 4.2. Proportions ranged from0% to 32.3% and were highest in Belarus (32.3%), Estonia(22.9%), Kazakhstan (30.3%), Kyrgyzstan (26.4%;preliminary results), the Republic of Moldova (19.4%)and Uzbekistan (23.2%). Although the average proportionof patients with MDR-TB in the Russian Federationis lower than in these countries, the proportion is high inseveral oblasts (with Arkhangelsk Oblast at the highestlevel: 35.1% in 2010).The proportion of previously treated TB cases with42 GLOBAL TUBERCULOSIS REPORT 2012
