Beyond the rise in cases, growing drug resistance and TB/HIV coinfection complicate disease control. How has TB evolved in recent years? What factors are driving its spread? This study analyzes TB epidemiology in Loja, El Oro, and Zamora Chinchipe provinces (2018-2023). El Oro showed the highest incidence, rising 93.3% from 44.95 to 86.87 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while Loja (62.2%) and Zamora Chinchipe (51.8%) exhibited moderate increases. TB/HIV coinfection demonstrated a significant upward trend of 474.9%, predominantly affecting men, increasing from 2.19 to 12.59 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Additionally, drug-resistant tuberculosis increased markedly, notably multidrug-resistant TB (MDR), peaking in 2022 (3.38 cases/100,000 inhabitants). Isoniazid resistance initially presented high incidence (24.87 cases/100,000 inhabitants in 2018), subsequently decreasing. These findings underscore the urgent need for strengthened epidemiological surveillance and targeted control strategies to mitigate the growing impact of TB in Zone 7. |
