在资源缺乏的国家里,一项以社区为基础的门诊规划,成功治疗了慢性耐多药的肺结核(TB)。美国波士顿哈佛医学院的Dr.Carole Mitnick及其同事们指出,事实上,在贫穷国家里,由于资源有限和缺乏医疗基础设施,不存在任何治疗耐多药TB的办法。而使用修改过的DOTS规划治疗这些病人则仅限于一些发达国家,因为这一方法需要在特定的转诊医疗中心进行。 In resource-poor countries, a community-based outpatient program successfully treated chronic multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). Dr.Carole Mitnick and colleagues at Harvard Medical School in Boston in the United States point out that there is virtually no cure for multidrug-TB in poor countries due to limited resources and lack of medical infrastructure. The use of modified DOTS planning to treat these patients is limited to some developed countries, because this method needs to be carried out at a specific referral medical center.
