Table 3.

Unadjusted analysis comparing cases with resistance to isoniazid alone, rifampicin alone, both (MDR-TB), and those with any resistance to those without any drug resistance among participants receiving care at two TB treatment sites in northern Nigeria.

MDR-TB: multidrug resistant tuberculosis (resistance to both isoniazid and rifampicin).

ANY resistance: Resistance to isoniazid, rifampicin, or both; NO resistance: not resistant to either isoniazid or rifampicin.
