Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Lost to follow up

Tuberculosis is one of the major public health challenges. Under National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP), India has targeted to end TB by 2025. Directly observed treatment short course (DOTs) is the backbone of India’s TB elimination program, with treatment compliance as an effective strategy. One of the challenges is quitting the treatment before completion of treatment course. These patients are called as Lost to Follow Up (LTFU). According to the India TB report 2022, the treatment outcome of the patients notified in 2020, 2.9% (51138) were LTFU, and treatment failure 0.5% (9202). LTFU results from several factors such as poor access to health services, socioeconomic status, and beliefs and practices prevalent in society. Illiteracy, poverty, long duration of treatment, many medicines, work-related issues, smoking & alcoholism, etc. are also other factors responsible for LTFU.
