Sputum smear conversion at the end of the intensive phase of tuberculosis treatment is positif of the patients response to treatment. This study aimed to determine factors associated to sputum smear non-conversion at the end of the intensive phase treatment. This cross sectional study was perform in Yogyakarta distric by collecting medical record in primary health care, from 2011-2016. Of 722 pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patient, 21,05 %  patients were identified as non-converted of the intensive phase of treatment with the median age was 41 years and 58.5 % were male. The factors were associated with sputum smear non-conversion of insentive phase treatment : male, age ≥50, pre-treatment smears graded ≥2+, nonadherence to tuberculosis after 2 months treatment. Multivariate analysis indicated that Pre-treatment smears graded ≥2+and nonadherent to tuberculosis after 2 months treatment were a count highest contribution with sputum smear non-conversion. Patients with these factors non-conversion after two months of treatment should be given a fully supervised treatment to prevent in treatment default. Abstrak Konversi BTA pada akhir pengobatan fase intensif merupakan  salah satu indiaktor respon pasien terhadap pengobatan TB. Tujuan penelitian adalah menentukan faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan kegagalan konversi BTA setelah pengobatan TB fase intensif. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross sectional berdasarkan data rekam medis di puskesmas, Kota Yogyakarta tahun 2011-2016. Dari 722 pasien TB paru, sebanyak 21,05% adalah gagal konversi setelah pengobatan fase intensif dengan median umur adalah 41 tahun dan sebanyak 58,5% adalah laki-laki. Faktor yang berhubungan dengan gagal konversi setelah pengobatan fase intensif adalah jenis kelamin laki-laki, umur ≥50 tahun, gradasi BTA ≥2+, ketidakteraturan menelan obat. Analisa multivariable menunjukkan gradasi BTA sebelum pengobatan ≥ 2+  dan ketidakteraturan pengobatan sebagai faktor yang paling berkontribusi dengan gagal konversi. Pasien dengan gagal konversi setelah 2 bulan .

BACKGROUND Based on the regulation of the Indonesian Ministry of Health No. 15 of 2016 about health istithaah for the Hajj, patients with tuberculosis (TB) can be categorized into ineligible or temporarily ineligible pilgrims. This study aimed to know the characteristics of pilgrims with TB and determined their level of fitness for fulfilling the health istithaah. METHODS A cross-sectional study of pilgrims from Jakarta who were receiving TB treatment during the Hajj in 2018 was conducted with consecutive sampling. The secondary data was collected from the Hajj Integrated Computer Health System 2018, TB registered form, and six-minute walk test (the fitness level data) conducted by the District Hajj Health Team at district health centers in DKI Jakarta and Pondok Gede before the Hajj embarkation in June–July 2018. The questionnaire to the Indonesian Hajj Health Team during pilgrimage was also included as additional data. RESULTS Thirty-one pilgrims received TB treatment and completed the intensive phase of TB treatment, but 29 pilgrims had no symptoms. Among them, 2 patients had MDR-TB. Most of them were male aged ≥40 years old. Twelve pilgrims with TB have a sufficient fitness. All pilgrims were able to run the pillars of the Hajj. CONCLUSIONS Pilgrims with TB, including MDR-TB, who had completed the intensive phase with a negative sputum smear test were declared eligible for the Hajj with assistance.

Objective. To assess the uptake of isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) by eligible children in Kigali, Rwanda, and associated individual, households, and healthcare systems characteristics. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among child contacts of index cases having sputum smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis. Data were collected from 13 selected primary health centres. Descriptive statistics were used to generate frequency tables and figures. Logistic regression models were performed to determine characteristics associated with IPT uptake. Results. Of 270 children (under 15 years), who were household contacts of 136 index cases, 94 (35%) children were less than 5 years old and eligible for IPT; and 84 (89%, 95% CI 81–94) were initiated on IPT. The reasons for not initiating IPT in the remaining 10 children were parents/caregivers’ lack of information on the need for IPT, refusal to give IPT to their children, and poor quality services offered at health centres. Factors associated with no uptake of IPT included children older than 3 years, unfriendly healthcare providers, HIV infected index cases, and the index case not being the child’s parent. Conclusion. The National Tuberculosis Program’s policy on IPT delivery was effectively implemented. Future interventions should find strategies to manage factors associated with IPT uptake.

Introduction: Sputum non-conversion is smear positive tuberculosis despite anti-tubercular therapy. Various factors may lead to sputum non-conversion including resistance to anti-tubercular drugs, age, gender, disease severity, non-compliance, drugs unavailability etc. Little is known and studied about the contribution of these individual factors. Our study sought to determine the prevalence of sputum smear non-conversion in patients at the end of intensive phase of tuberculosis treatment visiting a tertiary-level institution in Nepal. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among recorded data of patients undergoing sputum Acid Fast Bacilli staining at the end of intensive phase at National Tuberculosis Control Center from April 2018 to April 2020. The study was approved by Nepal Health Research Council (Registration no: 76012020 P). The convenient sampling method was adopted. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Our study found that out of 830 samples that were tested by Acid Fast Bacilli stain at the end of intensive phase, 40 (4.82%) (3.37-6.28 at 95% Confidence Interval) were sputum smear non-converters. The mean age of sputum non-converters was 41.25±15.543 years. Conclusions: The study shows that a significant proportion of patients remain acid-fast stain positive despite the treatment. However, the proportion is low compared to other similar studies around the globe. This study provides program managers with evidence to support the development of more tailored tuberculosis care and need to conduct more intensive studies about various factors that may lead to non-conversion.
