[Factors associated with treatment adherence for tuberculosis infection].
To analyze adherence to treatment of tuberculosis infection and to identify risk factors for its compliance. ⋯ The treatment compliance rate of Tuberculosis infection was high among people who started therapy. Almost a half of the contacts with TI did not start treatment, and associated factors were: age, social relationship, and the TST reaction. The treatment regimen was associated with greater compliance. It is important to know the factors associated with adherence to treatment of TI in each health area, and focus efforts on risk groups; thereby approaching the global control of tuberculosis.
