MSF: Multidrug-resistant TB strain in Swaziland not detectable by most advanced rapid diagnostic tests (post with simple image)
It is essential to conduct studies that can determine whether this mutation is present in neighboring countries such as South Africa or Mozambique: “If we’re facing wide distribution of this strain in Southern Africa or elsewhere, it is imperative that the rapid molecular tests we currently use, as well as those under development, be adapted to detect a wider range of mutations”.

On a recent morning in a Ho Chi Minh City intensive-care unit, Cao Thi My Hanh sat crying and clutching her 5-month-old granddaughter, Nguyen Dang Thanh Phuong. More than a month earlier she had noticed the baby coughing and struggling to breathe. Hanh took her granddaughter to see several doctors in her rural province, but they all failed to give her a proper diagnosis. When she finally reached this large urban hospital, she found out that Phuong had tuberculosis, and realized the weeks of inadequate care had given the life-threatening illness time to take hold.
