[Tuberculosis and patient compliance: proposition for a study methodology of patient dropouts].
Patient dropouts are one of the main concerns of tuberculosis programme in high prevalence countries. Perception of renunciation factors are generally weak or/and feeble from the part of agents working within programmes, while there are some a priori and confusions. This work proposes the setting up of a malagasy study, after the adequate definition of some hypothesis, then the writing of a survey form. The aim is to draw remedial behaviours and to make physicians and paramedical working close to tubercular patients, aware of the importance of a good mutual comprehension.
