“…10 Active pulmonary TB mostly presents with symptoms of productive cough, dyspnea, weight loss, and night sweats, but rarely, it might present with only a mass on the chest as an empyema necessitans in immune competent patients. 11 The prevalence and patterns of MDR in the population of Somalia have not been reported recently in the academic literature. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of MDR among pulmonary TB patients in the Banadir, the most populated region in Somalia.…”

Background Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is the second most common cause of death from a single infectious agent. TB infection affects anyone, regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity. Drug-resistant TB is a serious public health problem, which needs treatment with a second-line anti-TB drug and it includes poly-drug resistance (PDR), multi-drug resistance (MDR), and extensive drug resistance (XDR). The goal of this research is to find out the prevalence of MDR TB among pulmonary TB patients in Banadir, Somalia. Methods This was a multicenter retrospective review of data involving 1732 smear-positive pulmonary TB patients visiting Banadir TB centers between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. Demographic, clinical, and drug susceptibility data were retrieved from TB treatment cards. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software (IBM SPSS Statistics version 26). Results All 1732 pulmonary TB cases were previously diagnosed by the Gene Xpert MTB/RIF test. Among them, 70.4% (1219/1732) were males. The mean age was 31.77 years. Overall, the prevalence of drug resistance TB was 10.56% (183/1732). The MDR TB was 1.96%, poly-drug resistance (PDR) was 0.12%, and extensive drug resistance was 0.06%. Conclusion This study showed a prevalence of MDR-TB among pulmonary TB patients, which is similar to some of the eastern African countries.

“… 10 Usually, immunocompetent patients with tuberculosis (TB) exhibit typical symptoms, but in very rare situations, atypical TB symptoms could show up as active pulmonary tuberculosis with empyema necessitans in patients who are immune-competent. 11 In the civil war era, the health system of the Benadir region and other federal regions was very poor, but it started to improve in the last group, especially in TB treatments. 12…”
