Journal Title: Más Vita - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
defined as the continuous absence of the patient to antituberculous therapy for a month or more, represents an excess of public health spending. It is one of the public health problems most reported and worldwide as an unsatis-factory result of the tuberculosis strategy. Objective: to determine the triggers for the abandonment of antifungal treatment. Results: the main triggering factor for treatment abandonment in District 09D13 corresponds to the patient factors dimension, placing within this the symptomatic improvement secondary to a partial treat-ment in the first place, with 94.1%, with a predominance of the male sex and in ages from 20 to 49 years. Conclusion: The main prevalent factors in this study that trigger dropouts were associated with patient factors, firstly, symptomatic improvement, followed by a poor economic situation. The third factor was associated with the health service, such as the lack of knowledge about the disease. The correla-tional study establishes that there is a con-siderable positive relationship between homelessness and alcohol consumption, both factors not shown as the most prevalent by themselves, the perspective suggests that combination of both factors triggers discontinuation of antifungal therapy
