The objective of this study is to evaluate clinical profile and treatment of RR-TB and MDR-TB patients at RSKD. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from eTB manager database and medical record of RR-TB and MDR-TB at RSKD from January 2013 to October 2016. Results: Twenty eight RR-TB and MDR-TB patients, most of them were female (53.6%), belong to 35-44 age group (28.6%), housewife (25%), graduated from senior high school (42,9%), malnutrition (28.6%), and relapse cases (50%). Diabetes mellitus and anemia were found in 42,9% and 44.4% of the patients, respectively. The most resistant pattern is rifampicin-resistant TB (57,1%) followed by rifampicin and isoniazid resistant.
