Abstract

Risk factors of MDR-TB remain unclear in South Korea, despite being an important public health issue. Findings from this study, which included ≥50,000 patients with TB from South Korea, suggests that immigrants and patients with lower income levels were strong predictors of MDR-TB in a high-income, high TB incidence country.
