Patient- and provider-related factors in the success of multidrug tuberculosis treatment in ColombiaFatores de êxito do tratamento da tuberculose multirresistente relacionados com o paciente e com a equipe de saúde na Colômbia

CONCLUSIONS: Some characteristics of patients and healthcare providers influence treatment success in MDR-TB cases. Physicians' and nurses' knowledge about MDR-TB must be improved, and follow-up of MDR-TB patients who are living with HIV and of those affiliated with the subsidized health insurance scheme in Colombia must be strengthened, as these patients have a lower likelihood of a successful treatment outcome.PMID:33833785 | PMC:PMC8021208 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2021.5
