The Directly Observed Therapy Short-Course (DOTS) strategy in Samara Oblast, Russian Federation

• PMID: 16556324
• PMCID: PMC1440858
• DOI: 10.1186/1465-9921-7-44

Background: The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines Russia as one of the 22 highest-burden countries for tuberculosis (TB). The WHO Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) strategy employing a standardised treatment for 6 months produces the highest cure rates for drug sensitive TB. The Russian TB service traditionally employed individualised treatment. The purpose of this study was to implement a DOTS programme in the civilian and prison sectors of Samara Region of Russia, describe the clinical features and outcomes of recruited patients, determine the proportion of individuals in the cohorts who were infected with drug resistant TB, the degree to which resistance was attributed to the Beijing TB strain family and establish risk factors for drug resistance.

Methods: Prospective study.

Results: 2,099 patients were recruited overall. Treatment outcomes were analysed for patients recruited up to the third quarter of 2003 (n = 920). 75.3% of patients were successfully treated. Unsuccessful outcomes occurred in 7.3% of cases; 3.6% of patients died during treatment, with a significantly higher proportion of smear-positive cases dying compared to smear-negative cases. 14.0% were lost and transferred out. A high proportion of new cases (948 sequential culture-proven TB cases) had tuberculosis that was resistant to first-line drugs; (24.9% isoniazid resistant; 20.3% rifampicin resistant; 17.3% multidrug resistant tuberculosis). Molecular epidemiological analysis demonstrated that half of all isolated strains (50.7%; 375/740) belonged to the Beijing family. Drug resistance including MDR TB was strongly associated with infection with the Beijing strain (for MDR TB, 35.2% in Beijing strains versus 9.5% in non-Beijing strains, OR-5.2. Risk factors for multidrug resistant tuberculosis were: being a prisoner (OR 4.4), having a relapse of tuberculosis (OR 3.5), being infected with a Beijing family TB strain (OR 6.5) and having an unsuccessful outcome from treatment (OR 5.0).

Conclusion: The implementation of DOTS in Samara, Russia, was feasible and successful. Drug resistant tuberculosis rates in new cases were high and challenge successful outcomes from a conventional DOTS programme alone.

Unknown individuals damage railway bridge, used for transporting ammunition, in Russia's Samara Oblast – photo, map

Unknown individuals damaged the pillar of a railway bridge in Russia's Samara Oblast using explosives on the morning of 4 March. Ukrainian intelligence reports that this railway branch was used for transporting ammunition, and that the bridge will be unusable for the coming weeks.

Source: Telegram-based news outlets Baza , Shot and Mash ; Kremlin-aligned Russian news agency RIA Novosti , citing a comment by the Russian emergency services, Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU)

Details: Telegram channels reported that unknown individuals had used explosives to damage the pillar of a bridge across the Chapaevka River on the Zvezda-Chapaevsk line.

Screenshot: Google map

One of the Telegram channels noted that an explosion was heard at around 06:15 local time.

Train traffic on the bridge has been suspended, with four trains currently subject to delays. A Zagorsk alert [public warning of an emergency or incident – ed.] has been issued in Samara Oblast. Secret services are working at the scene.

A Telegram channel pointed out that the bridge's metal structures had been damaged.

RIA Novosti, citing a comment from the Russian emergency services, has confirmed that a pillar of the bridge had been damaged. The Kuybyshev Railway has reported that five trains have been delayed due to "illegal interference" in the railway's operations.

DIU has confirmed that the railway bridge was rendered inoperable. Reportedly,  the bridge was damaged by undermining its structural elements at around 06:00.

Quote from DIU: "The aggressor state used the railway branch for transporting military cargo, including ammunition produced by the Polimer company in the city of Chapaevsk, Samara Oblast. Due to the nature of the damage to the railway bridge, it will be out of service for several weeks."
