- Poly-resistant tuberculosis outbreak in Northern Portugal: a nine year talePublication . Gomes, B.; Molina-Correa, G.; Neves-Reina, L.; Oliveira, A.C.; Macedo, R.; Carvalho, C.; Correia, A.M.Extract: In 2017, the notification rate of tuberculosis in the Northern Region of Portugal was 21.1 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. According to the National Tuberculosis Programme Surveillance System (SVIG-TB), poly-resistance to isoniazid and streptomycin (PR-HS) represented 2.6–5% of the cases notified in the Northern Region between 2009 and 2017 Although they represent a relatively low proportion of cases in Portugal, poly-resistances such as PR-HS are precursors to multidrug resistance and, consequently, should be closely monitored.
