Pulmonary tuberculosis treatment causes various side effects including nausea and vomiting, itching, vision problems, and anemia. Drug side effects in the early stages are one of the causes of non-adherence to complete treatment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the side effects Tuberculosis treatment in the early stages on treatment compliance for tuberculosis patients. This study used a cross sectional design. Samples were taken as many as 71 respondents, the instruments used were side effects of early-stage tuberculosis treatment and compliance with tuberculosis treatment in tuberculosis patients from the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS). The results of the study found 97.7% adherent and 2.3% non-adherent, 39.5% mild side effects and 60.5% severe side effects. Chi-square test showed that no significant difference between the side effects of TB treatment in the early stages of tuberculosis treatment compliance in patients p = 0.669 at significant level of 95% (α = 0.05). There was no effect between the side effects of Tuberculosis treatment in the early stages of treatment compliance for Tuberculosis patients. It was recommended that health workers continue to monitor the side effects of tuberculosis treatment and provide motivation to carry out treatment completely.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease which is the leading cause of ill health, one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide and the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent (ranking above HIV / AIDS). WHO estimates that there are 23,000 cases of MDR / RR in Indonesia. In 2017 there were 442,000 TB cases recorded in the program, of which an estimated 8,600-15,000 MDR / RR TB, (estimated 2.4% of new cases and 13% of previously treated TB patients), but only 27.36% treated. The aim of this literature is to evaluate peer group support and family support on treatment adherence to pulmonary tuberculosis patients. This study used a systematic literature review design. Articles were collected through the PubMed and Google Scholar databases published from 2016-2020 using the keywords peer group support, family support, medication adherence, pulmonary tuberculosis. The results of the literature review showed that providing peer group support or family support can have an impact positive for pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The conclusion in this study is that patients who get support from either peer group support or family support can significantly improve compliance with pulmonary tuberculosis treatment so that it can increase the success rate of pulmonary tuberculosis treatment. Keywords: peer group support; family support; treatment compliance; pulmonary tuberculosis ABSTRAK Tuberkulosis (TB) adalah penyakit menular yang merupakan penyebab utama masalah kesehatan yang buruk, salah satu dari 10 penyebab utama kematian di seluruh dunia dan penyebab utama kematian dari satu agen infeksi tunggal (peringkat di atas HIV / AIDS). WHO memperkirakan ada 23.000 kasus MDR/RR di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2017 kasus TB yang tercatat di program ada sejumlah 442.000 kasus yang mana dari kasus tersebut diperkirakan ada 8.600-15.000 MDR/RR TB, (perkiraan 2,4% dari kasus baru dan 13% dari pasien TB yang diobati sebelumnya), tetapi cakupan yang diobati baru sekitar 27,36%. Tujuan Literatur ini untuk mengevaluasi peer group support dan family support terhadap kepatuhan pengobatan pasien tuberkulosis paru. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain systematic literature review. Artikel dikumpulkan melalui database PubMed dan Google Scholar yang dipublikasikan dari tahun 2016-2020 dengan menggunakan kata kunci peer group support, family support, kepatuhan pengobatan, tuberkulosis paru. Hasil literature review menunjukkan bahwa pemberian peer group support atau family support dapat memberikan dampak yang positif kepada pasien tuberkulosis paru. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini bahwa pasien yang mendapatkan dukungan baik peer group support atau family support secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan kepatuhan pengobatan tuberkulosis paru sehingga dapat meningkatkan tingkat keberhasilan pengobatan tuberkulosis paru Kata kunci: peer group support; family support; kepatuhan pengobatan; tuberkulosis paru

Background: Sputum smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis is a common problem faced by clinicians. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy may be very useful in diagnosing these cases which have no sputum or whose sputum smear is negative for acid fast bacilli. Objective of the current study was to assess the role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in sputum smear negative under NTEP and radiologically suspected cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods: Clinico-radiological suspected cases of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in whom two sputum smear for acid fast bacilli by Ziehl Neelsen stain under NTEP was negative were included in the study. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in all these patients and samples taken were sent for investigations.Results: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in 250 patients of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis whose sputum for AFB smear was negative. Cough was the most predominant symptom. Radiologically, right side disease was more common and upper zone was most commonly involved and infiltrates were common radiological finding. During bronchoscopy, congestion and hyperaemia (36%) and mucopurulent/mucoid secretions (32%) was seen in maximum number of cases. BAL was positive in 200 patients (80%), post bronchoscopy sputum was positive in 70 cases (28%) and biopsy was positive in 12 patients out of 16 performed biopsies (75%). The total TB positive cases after combining all the methods were 215 making the overall diagnostic yield of 86%.Conclusions: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy and post bronchoscopy sputum can be very useful for diagnosing sputum for AFB smear negative but clinico-radiological suspected cases of pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
