FIGURE 5

<>brThe number of patients in the cohort is shown under each bar. A notable feature in all categories is the prominent percentage of death and defaulted/failed treatment. Patients with MDR and XDR-TB have a notably greater amount of morbidity and mortality [37,38,39]. The countries that contain the highest amount of MDR-TB cases include India (131,000), China (112,000), Russian Federation (43,000), South Africa (16,000) and Bangladesh (15,000).
