However, without proper treatment, the bacteria can survive and develop antibiotic resistance to an increasing number of drugs. This drug-resistant bacteria can then spread to other people, making the disease much more expensive to treat. The chart shows the cost of treating a single patient with tuberculosis in India. For tuberculosis patients _without_ drug resistance, the average cost of treatment is only $24. But among patients who have multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, the cost is almost $400. With extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, it costs more than $1,000. That’s about 50 times higher than patients without drug resistance. | Drug-resistant tuberculosis is much more expensive to treat |
