| Sumario: | The purpose of this research was to identify risk factors associated with noncompliance of the patients treated for tuberculosis. We analyzed 147 records of tuberculosis notification from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases in the city of Londrina, Paraná, in 2006. It was found that 68% were male patients, 35.4% were between 41 and 60 years, 22.4% studied for 4-7 years, and 42.8% lived in a region of low socioeconomic status; it stands that of the 147 patients, 68% have finished treatment and 10.2% have abandoned it. Among dropouts, 80% were male, 46.7% werebetween 21 and 40 years and 33.3% had 4-7 years. Knowing the profile of patients who abandon treatment for tuberculosisis important to support relief. It is urgent to improve the active pursuit of those who pose a risk of treatment abandonment,avoiding the spread of the disease and mortality increasing. |
