We systematically reviewed Medline as well as the references of published review articles for relevant studies of adherence to multidrug treatment of both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB through February 3, 2018. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as well as prospective and retro...spective cohort studies (CSs) with an internal or external control group that evaluated any adherence intervention and conducted a meta-analysis of their impact on TB treatment outcomes. Our search identified 7,729 articles, of which 129 met the inclusion criteria for quantitative analysis. Seven adherence categories were identified, including DOT offered by different providers and at various locations, reminders and tracers, incentives and enablers, patient education, digital technologies (short message services [SMSs] via mobile phones and video-observed therapy [VOT]), staff education, and combinations of these interventions.

En este módulo, aprenderá sobre investigaciones de contactos de tuberculosis (TB).
A las personas que han estado expuestas a un caso* de enfermedad de tuberculosis infecciosa se las conoce como “contactos de tuberculosis”. Una investigación de contactos de tuberculosis consiste en una estrat...egia
de control de la tuberculosis que se utiliza para identificar, buscar y evaluar contactos de tuberculosis y proporcionar el tratamiento apropiado para la infección de tuberculosis latente (ITBL) o para la enfermedad de tuberculosis, si fuera necesario. Las investigaciones eficaces de contactos interrumpen la propagación de la tuberculosis en las comunidades y ayudan a prevenir los brotes de tuberculosis.

para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC): Pautas para la investigación de los contactos de personas con tuberculosis infecciosa (Guidelines for the Investigation of Contacts of Persons with Infectious
