Primary Isoniazid Resistance in U.S.-born vs. Foreign-born Persons

United States, 1993-2003

Slide 21: Primary Isoniazid Resistance in U.S.-born vs. Foreign-born Persons, United States, 1993-2003. This graph shows primary isoniazid resistance in U.S.-born vs. foreign-born persons. Among foreign-born persons, the percentage of isoniazid resistance (based on initial isolates from persons with no prior history of TB) was approximately two times higher than among U.S.-born persons. Among foreign-born persons, the percentage declined from 12.4% in 1993 to 10.6% in 2003, including a drop below 10% in 2001. Among U.S.-born persons, the percentage decreased from 6.8% in 1993 to 4.1% in 2002, and then increased to 4.6% in 2003.
