Apoyo familiar en la adherencia al tratamiento de pacientes con tuberculosis.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a sad disease that has caused a lot of damage throughout history, affecting mainly the poorest populations and constituting one of the greatest challenges in public health today. Even with the global advances in development and in the medical sciences, it is puzzling that it continues to be a disease so prevalent at the beginning of this century, with a third of the world population infected and with 2 million people dead every year, declared as an emergency world and facing a very important obstacle to its control.
