The prevalence of DR-EPTB was high in patients who had concomitant PTB. Although the prevalences of rifampicin- and multidrug-resistant TB were low in isolated EPTB, the prevalence of isoniazid-resistant TB remained high. Therefore, drug susceptibility testing should be performed in EPTB patients, especially those who carry the aforementioned risk factors.
