Determinants of Multidrug-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Indonesia: A Spatial Analysis Perspective

Abstract: Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MT). MT usually attacks the lungs and causes pulmonary-tuberculosis. Tuberculosis cases in Indonesia keep increasing over the years. The presence of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has been one of the main obstacles in eradicating tuberculosis because it couldn’t be cured using standard drugs. In fact, the success rate of MDR-TB treatment in 2019 at the global level was only 57 percent. Research on MDR-TB can be related to the spatial aspect becau… Show more

Therefore, the high number of detected tuberculosis cases in a particular area may also be influenced by the characteristics of other variables.…”
