PMID:23678924Ĭlimate change and the northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) population in Baja California, Mexico. Possible explanations include different levels of exposure to resistant strains and inadequate treatment. Hispanic patients born outside the US or Mexico were more likely to have MDR-TB than were those born within these countries.

In multivariate analysis, previous antituberculosis treatment was associated with MDR-TB (odds ratio â€‰=â€‰6.57 95% confidence interval â€‰=â€‰3.34, 12.96) Mexico-born TB patients in California (ORâ€‰=â€‰5.08 95% CIâ€‰=â€‰1.19, 21.75) and those born elsewhere (ORâ€‰=â€‰7.69 95% CIâ€‰=â€‰1.71, 34.67) had greater odds of MDR-TB compared with US-born patients (reference category). MDR-TB prevalence was 2.1% in Baja California patients, 1.6% in Mexico-born California patients, 0.4% in US-born California patients, and 2.7% in Hispanic California patients born elsewhere. Using data from Mexicoâ€™s National TB Drug Resistance Survey (2008â€“2009) and California Department of Public Health TB case registry (2004â€“2009), we assessed differences in MDR-TB prevalence comparing (1) Mexicans in Baja California, (2) Mexico-born Hispanics in California, (3) US-born Hispanics in California, and (4) California Hispanics born elsewhere.

We sought to compare prevalence and determinants of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) between tuberculosis patients in Baja California, Mexico, and Hispanic patients in California.

The large bay on the Pacific side of Baja is Laguna Ojo de Libre (Bay of Whales) which is a breeding area for the Pacific Grey Whales. Mexico's state of Sonora and the Sonora Desert is on the mainland and the state of Baja California consists of the entire peninsula. Sunglint on the surface of the Sea of Cortez near the island of Tiburon (28.5 N, 112.5W) reveals intricate patterns of internal waves under the placid surface.

The Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California, is to the left and the Pacific Ocean is to the right. At the center of the Scene is Laguna Ojo de Liebre (Bay of Whales) which is a breeding area for the Pacific Grey Whale. An interesting view down the axis of Baja California, Mexico (26.5N, 113.0W).
