Completion Rates, Adverse Effects, and Costs of a 3-Month and 9-Month Treatment Regimen for Latent Tuberculosis Infection in California Inmates, 2011-2014.

CONCLUSIONS: In an incarcerated population, the 3HP regimen had a higher completion rate, lower hepatotoxicity, and lower cost per fully treated patient than the 9H regimen. If coupled with a high treatment initiation rate, the high rate of LTBI treatment completion with 3HP may contribute to reducing tuberculosis morbidity in California.
