The most important factor in" uencing the adherence of TB patients were drug side effects. Thedrug side effects were gastritis and skin itch (found in 10 and 3 patient respectively). Another reason for non-adherence in TBtreatment were over estimated and cost.Adherence was one of the potential factors to increase cure rate in TB patients.
