This resurgence is attributed, in part, to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic infection, but also to the worsening of the social and economic conditions of a increasingly and more and more excluded part of the population. The non compliance to the treatment is the most problem among this population and explains the high rate or the lost from follow up patients and relapses. Several solutions are proposed to improve the compliance to the treatment, which remains one of the principal measures of the fight against tuberculosis.
