Abstract

Background and the purpose of the study: TUBERCULOSIS is curable if patients take sufficient uninterrupted therapy. Most experts acknowledge importance of patient ADHERENCE in efforts to control of the disease. This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the rate of compliance to anti-tuberculosis regimens by means of URINE TESTs in newly diagnosed TUBERCULOSIS patients.Method: Investigation was carried out in Tehran University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospitals, Tehran, IRAN. Fifty patients completed the study. The patients' urine samples were obtained at 0, 1, 2, 4 and 6 months of the study. Simple chemical methods were used to detect Isoniazid, Rifampin, and pyrazinamide, the three main drugs in TUBERCULOSIS treatment regimens. URINE TESTs at months of 0 and l of the study were considered as control tests.Results: After the first month, the patients' compliance was about 96%. At months of second, fourth and sixth, the whole ADHERENCE rates were 56 %, 76% and 81% respectively.Conclusion: About 30% of patients were non-compliant with treatment regimen which was more frequent than presumed; therefore detection of non-adherent patients is an essential subject in developing countries.
