Indonesia has an estimated 1.9% of new TB cases and 12% of previously treated TB cases that are multi-drug resistant. Only 30% of previously treated cases and less than 1% of new cases are tested for drug resistance in Indonesia. The country aims to expand drug resistance surveillance and testing to achieve national coverage by 2015-2016. GeneXpert provides an important tool for rapid diagnosis of drug resistant TB, though challenges remain in scaling up testing and treatment programs in Indonesia.

Outline 1. Global TB situation 2. Global DR TB Surveillance 3. Global DR TB response 4. Five Priority action to address The Global MDR TB Crisis Indonesia: Sub National data only from 2 DRS in Central Java 2006 and East Java 2009 Estimated 1.9% among new and 12% among Previously treated TB cases Indonesia: # 10th with 6,800 cases Indonesia: 1. Only 30% of previously treated and < 1% new cases tested 2. No national wide DRS surveillance/ survey 3. Planned for 2015-2016 Indonesia: 0.03% Indonesia: <15% tested in 2013, 30% tested in 2014 Indonesia: 44% 9 cases from Indonesia Role of GeneXpert for TB Control Program: • Xpert MTB/RIF should be used rather than conventional microscopy, culture and DST as the initial diagnostic test in adults and children suspected of having MDR-TB or HIV associated TB. • Xpert MTB/RIF may be used as a follow-on test to microscopy in adults and children where MDR-TB and HIV is of lesser concern, especially in further testing of smear-negative specimens. • Xpert MTB/RIF may be used rather than conventional microscopy and culture as the initial diagnostic test in all adults suspected with TB. • Xpert MTB/RIF may be used rather than conventional microscopy and culture as the initial diagnostic test in all children suspected of having TB • Xpert MTB/RIF should be used in preference to conventional microscopy and culture as the initial diagnostic test in testing cerebrospinal fluid specimens from patients presumed to have TB meningitis • Xpert MTB/RIF may be used as a replacement test for usual practice (including conventional microscopy, culture, and/or histopathology) for testing of specific nonrespiratory specimens (lymph nodes and other tissues) from patients presumed to have extrapulmonary TB PROMOTE REACH DETECT TREATMENT RETAIN SUPPORT CURE PREVENT
