The Asia-Pacific region carries 58% of the global TB burden, including the majority of all estimated multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB cases. Age and gender have a marked effect on TB epidemiology across the life course, as men and women have different combinations of risk factors for TB, and follow different pathways to seek diagnosis and treatment. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 41(3), p. 227-229 | Publisher: | John Wiley & Sons, Inc | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1753-6405 1326-0200 |
