Forecasting the seasonality and trend of pulmonary tuberculosis in Jiangsu Province of China using advanced statistical time-series analyses
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors performed validation research by comparing the accuracy of the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model and the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) model in a southeastern province of China.
Factors affecting time to sputum culture conversion and treatment outcome of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in China
TL;DR: MDR-TB patients who smoke, drink, have ofloxacin resistance, or a high smear grade are less likely to respond to treatment and should be meticulously followed up.
Evaluation of the GenoType(®) MTBDRplus line probe assay on sputum-positive samples in routine settings in China.
Cheng Chen,Wen Kong,Linyang Zhu,Yang Zhou,Hong Peng,Yan Shao,Honghuan Song,Qiao Liu,Guoli Li,Shi J,Chongqiao Zhong,Xiaoyan Ding,Hongjie Yu,Haitao Yang,Wei Lu +14 more
TL;DR: Although the MTBDRplus assay was moderately concordant with conventional DST in detecting INH and RMP resistance, as a prospective rapid molecular method for MDR-TB detection, potential resistant mutations need to be incorporated to improve the accuracy of detection.

Diagnostic Value of GeneChip for Detection of Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Patients with Differing Treatment Histories
Limei Zhu,Qiao Liu,Leonardo Martinez,Jinyan Shi,Cheng Chen,Yan Shao,Chongqiao Zhong,Honghuan Song,Guoli Li,Xiaoyan Ding,Yang Zhou,Linyang Zhu,Christopher C. Whalen,Wei Lu +13 more
TL;DR: The GeneChip system provides a simple, rapid, reliable, and accurate clinical assay for the detection of TB drug resistance, and it is a potentially important diagnostic tool in a high-prevalence area.

Mediating Effect of Repeated Tuberculosis Exposure on the Risk of Transmission to Household Contacts of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients.
Peng Lu,Xiaoyan Ding,Qiao Liu,Wei Lu,Leonardo Martinez,Jiansheng Sun,Feng Lu,Chongqiao Zhong,Hui Jiang,Changdong Miao,Limei Zhu,Haitao Yang +11 more
TL;DR: Prior tuberculosis exposure in contacts strongly mediates the relationship between tuberculosis infection and the index drug resistance profile, suggesting that contacts of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis cases are at higher risk of tuberculosis infection.
