For the first time in many years, an increase has been reported in the number of people falling ill with #tuberculosis (TB) and drug-resistant TB.
📌 bit.ly/3Fn2ALW
In 2021, #tuberculosis was on the rise ↗️:
🔸10.6 million people fell ill with TB, an increase of 4.5% from 2020.
🔸1.6 million people died from TB.
🔸Drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) increased by 3%, with 450 000 new cases of rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB).

Reasons for increase in #tuberculosis cases:
🔸Disruption of essential TB services due to the #COVID19 pandemic.
🔸Ongoing conflicts across Eastern Europe, Africa & the Middle East have further worsened the situation for vulnerable populations.

In our @LancetMicrobe paper we report 671 Mtb genomes 🧬from 391 patients with drug #resistant #tuberculosis in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa sampled over 6 years.
We screened for resistance to #bedaquiline, a drug now central to effective #TB treatment.

We found ~4% of patients harboured #Mtb with variants in genes known to mediate #resistance to bedaquiline/clofazimine.
Phylogenetic analyses show repeated & independent acquisitions of resistance variants, including onward transmission of resistant strains across South Africa.

Bedaquiline is a reasonably new, but now cornerstone, drug in the fight against #DRTB.
The lack of routine #bedaquiline susceptibility testing may allow these #resistant strains to continue to spread, unwatched, posing further significant challenges to #TB treatment & control.

Today, @WHO recognizes #WorldTBDay in order to end the stigma surrounding the disease and to #EndTB internationally. Former White House residents have suffered from the disease, including First Lady Eliza Johnson. #WomensHistoryMonth 1/9

Though an often overlooked first lady, Eliza Johnson was a fascinating, well-educated woman. Unlike many of her peers in rural Tennessee, Eliza received an education at Rhea Academy in Greeneville, where she nurtured what would become a lifelong love of learning. 2/9
