Completeness of registration of cases of tuberculosis retreatment and its result

Abstract

The characteristics of patients receiving tuberculosis retreatment cycles, including those with recurrent tuberculosis, treatment after an ineffective chemotherapy cycle or discontinuation of a chemotherapy cycle, and other retreatment cases were studied. Only a portion of the total number of cases to be treated was established to be registered for treatment. A category of patients receiving treatment after a previous ineffective chemotherapy cycle is most difficult to treat. Among them, there are a very large proportion of cases with positive sputum smear microscopy results and that of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. The most common cause of a poor outcome was the detection of multidrug-resistant pathogen in patients with recurrent pulmonary tuberculosis and poor compliance in other retreatment cases.
