[Risk factors for early relapse of tuberculosis in Latvia].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate risk factors for tuberculosis relapse within a short time after successful tuberculosis treatment among Latvian patients treated in 1996. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study of tuberculosis patients diagnosed and treated successfully in 1996. RESULTS: 48 cases and 96 matched controls were included in the study. 18 cases and 22 controls had documentation of at least one interruption (OR 2.96; 95% CI 1.09-7.99). Early relapse was not associated with type of treatment facility, age or unemployment, but was positively associated with alcohol use (OR 17.70; 95% CI 4.14-75.77). In a multivariate analysis, only alcohol use was significantly associated with early relapse (OR 16.63; 95% CI 3.63-76.10). CONCLUSION: Alcohol use was the main risk factor for early tuberculosis relapse.
