Abstract :






For about fifteen years, Belgium, as other developed countries, has been confronted with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The treatment of MDR-TB is complex, associating several antibiotics and causing multiple adverse effects. The aim of this study is to report our experience with MDR-TB at the Saint-Pierre University Hospital in Brussels.
