    Abstract

    The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) was started with the objective to detect 70% of the estimated cases and achieve a cure rate of at least 85% through administration of Directly Observed Treatment Short course chemotherapy (DOTS) so the burden of disease could be reduced. The study participants were those patients who had registered for DOTS therapy at PHC Sankhalim DOTS centre from January 2013 to December 2016.There were 197 subjects. Data was entered into excel sheet and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 14.0. Approval from the institutional ethics committee was taken. Majority of cases were in Category I 84.8% (167) i.e., new cases followed by 12.7% (25) in category II and 2.5% (5) were in category IV treatment at the initiation of treatment. Among 25 cases in category II, most of them were relapse cases 44% (11) followed by treatment after default 28% (7) and failure were 16% (4) in number. Around 79.74% had favourable outcome among patients on treatment.
