This paper proposes a mathematical model for
the transmission dynamics of Tuberculosis
incorporating extensive drug resistant subgroup.
The effective reproduction number
c R was
obtained and conditions for local stability of the
disease free equilibrium and endemic
equilibrium states were established. Numerical
simulations confirmed the stability analysis and
further revealed that unless proper measures
are taken against typical TB, progression to
XDR-TB, mortality and morbidity of infected
individuals shall continue to rise.
