Risk factors and outcome of human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with sporadic multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in New York City.
An 880 bed university teaching hospital in New York City. ⋯ Sporadic MDR-TB infection in HIV-infected patients is associated with increased morbidity and mortality compared to infection with susceptible or single-drug-resistant TB. The median survival for HIV-infected patients with MDR-TB in this study is, however, two to three times longer than previously reported in MDR-TB outbreaks.
