Impact of smear-negative results on tuberculosis outcome in HIV co-infected patients at a teaching hospital in Ghana

Article scientifique 2016 Anglais

Résumé

Interpretation: Stock-out rates were high for this large teaching hospital in Ghana, and treatment default due to lack of HAART supply was common. For those who did not default, there were high rates of stockpiling old medication or clinic-initiated changes to treatment regimen. Although we do not fully understand the risks of taking old, stockpiled medication, multiple changes in medication described in the study increases the risk for side effects and treatment non-compliance.
