Monika Tandon et al. Indian J Med Sci. 2002 Jan.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in a developing country like India, it is made worse by poor adherence to and frequent interruption of treatment. Treatment of tuberculosis requires strict discipline in order to eradicate mycobacteria and to cure the disease. In the present study we have conducted a randomized control trial, to compare the effectiveness of Directly Observed Therapy Short Course (DOTS) versus Self Administered Therapy (SAT) in a tertiary care hospital.
