Tuberculosis treatment outcomes and their related factors in patients with tuberculosis treated at the Antituberculosis Center of Brazzaville, Republic of Congo
The overall TB treatment success rate was below the World Health Organization End TB Strategy threshold, with a high proportion of patients lost to follow-up and a low treatment success in patients with TB/HIV and those who were MDR. The findings highlight the need to enhance supervision, improve directly observed treatment short course monitoring, and develop strategies to minimize patients lost to follow-up.
