Abstract

Mills et al. recently used mathematical modeling to show that community-wide isoniazid preventative therapy may lead to a long-term increase in resistance at the population level. Although community-wide isoniazid preventive therapy may be useful in preventing tuberculosis (TB) in low-TB/HIV settings, isoniazid resistance is especially of concern in high TB/HIV populations.
