drug-resistant tuberculosis, health care workerAbstract
Multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis is a major global problem; especially Thailand is a high tuberculosis burden country. Health care workers are at high risk of exposing and contracting tuberculosis from patients. They should be aware of drug resistant tuberculosis and concerned about its danger. The objectives of this article are to explore on risk factors associated with drug resistant tuberculosis in health care workers including personal factors, environment of workplace factors, measurements for infectious prevention in hospital factors and to provide guidelines for preventing drug-resistant tuberculosis. It is expected that this article would benefit interested readers, especially health care workers who could apply this knowledge in their routine work.
