BACKGROUND The diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis C are major concerns in prisons. OBJECTIVES The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to determine the extent to which directly observed therapy (DOT) improved the efficacy of the standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C in the prison setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS A randomized clinical trial was carried out to evaluate the ef...
BACKGROUND There is uncertainty about how directly observed treatment (DOT) support for tuberculosis (TB) can be delivered most effectively and how DOT support can simultaneously be used to strengthen human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and control among TB patients. This study describes how DOT support by community health workers (CHWs) was used in four municipalities in the Free Sta...
BACKGROUND Although directly observed therapy (DOT) is recommended worldwide for monitoring anti-tuberculosis treatment, transportation and personnel requirements limit its use. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of 'video DOT' (VDOT), which allows patients to record and transmit medication ingestion via videos watched remotely by health care providers to document adheren...
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health problem, despite recent achievements in reducing incidence and mortality rates. In Brazil, these achievements were above the worldwide average, but marked by large regional heterogeneities. In Fortaleza (5th largest city in Brazil), the tuberculosis cure rate has been declining and treatment abandonment has been increasing in the past decade,...
BACKGROUND Patients' beliefs are a major factor affecting tuberculosis (TB) treatment adherence.

Methods for measuring adherence to TB medication include detecting urine colour change due to the presence of rifampicin. However, this effect is short lived, peaking at 2–6 h and is only seen in ,50% of patients [2]. Directly observed therapy (DOT) will ensure adherence to antituberculous treatment, but this can be unacceptable and many patients do not tolerate a three times a week regimen. DO...
The Singapore Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (STEP) was launched in 1997 because the incidence of the disease had remained between 49 and 56 per 100,000 resident population for the preceding 10 years. STEP involves the following key interventions: directly observed therapy (DOT) in public primary health care clinics; monitoring of treatment progress and outcome for all cases by means of a N...
Tuberculosis (TB) has infected about one-third of the world’s 5 billion people. In 1995, from this pool of infected people, about 3.3 million new active smear-positive cases were reported, along with an estimated 4 million other cases, which led to about 2–3 million deaths. Although TB rates in Canada are as low as almost anywhere in the world, many people from countries where rates are high — ...
