Peru is a country with a high burden of tuberculosis disease and high prevalence of its resistant forms. The purpose of the study was to determine the epidemiological profile of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs in patients with PPB-TB who are treated at the health facilities of the district of La Victoria during the study period. An observational cross-sectional study was performed. Where cases of TBP FP were recruited in the La Victoria district. 120 cases were included in the analysis, of which 86 (71.7%) had no history of treatment and 34 (28.3%) had a history of treatment (NT). 81 were men (67.5%) and 39 women (32.5%). Resistance to one or more drugs was 21% in the NT and 41.2% in the TA. Streptomycin obtained the highest value of monoresistance in both new and previously treated cases. The MDR pattern was present in 35.2% of AT and 4.6% of NT.
The study showed that the district of La Victoria DISA V Lima City has a high initial MDR TB burden, with a high prevalence of secondary resistance.
