dc.description.abstract	The emergence of resistant forms of tuberculosis (TB) has not only caused continuous challenges on the world populations’ health, but has also attracted increased costs of primary health care for the infected and society at large. In 2005, when the South African public came to learn about another resistant form of TB other than multi-drug resistant (MDR), 53 patients had just died in a rural hospital in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The reports (SA DoH, 2006) came to announce this form of TB as extreme drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB).	en_ZA
