Abstract
THE PROPORTION of patients with a well-documented first episode of tuberculosis (TB) who have a second recurrent episode is not well-known for unselected populations, and the proportion depends on different socioeconomic conditions. Tuberculosis recurrences are assumed to be mainly due to mismanagement of the disease, resulting from either poor adherence to correct therapy or the administration of inadequate treatment.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
