Some who are infected with the bacteria that causes TB often exhibit no symptoms, because their immune systems stop the bacteria from growing and multiplying. Those with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to developing the full blown disease which can cause symptoms that include coughing...
isoniazid was 78.3%, suggesting that if either is tested in isolation both could result in false positives MDR-TB cases, resulting into patients being unnecessarily subjected to the more toxic and expensive second-line anti-TB drugs, which are less effective compared to first-line anti-TB drugs...
