摘要：Each year 2.2 million people develop TB in India and estimated 2,20,000 die from the disease. There are two main types of drug resistant TB: MDR-TB and XDR. Globally in 2015 the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that 3.9% of new cases and 21% of previously treated cases of TB were of MDR/RR-TB. Active pulmonary TB is a rare primary cause of acute respiratory failure (ARF) however, high mortality rates have recently been reported in patients with ARF arising from TB. In-hospital mortality of tuberculosis patients remains high, especially among those requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and mechanical ventilation (MV). Tuberculosis patients requiring ICU care may also develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS severe enough to require ECMO support is estimated to occur in nearly 5 to 10 cases per million populations per year.
