Abstract

This study discusses the compliance of patients to treatment and prophylaxis of tuberculosis in the Training and Reference Center for Infectious and Parasite Diseases. Data was collected from 368 cases recorded from January 1998 to January 2001. Of these, 318 had the association of tuberculosis/HIV, of which 72,9% were for treatment and 27,1% for prophylaxis. 140 cases (38%) abandoned treatment and only 163 (44,2%) were discharged after healing. The high percentage of abandonment indicates faults in the service, which also shows the complexity of compliance to treatment prophylaxis of tuberculosis of HIV/AIDS infected patients.
