dc.description.abstractBackground: Patients with tuberculosis (TB) usually incur large costs directly related to their disease. Additional indirect costs also increase the economic burden of households creating barriers of access and adherence that can affect the healing of patients. Because TB affects the poorest segment of society the effects can be more serious for poor people. Indirect costs are poorly documented in Bolivia. We therefore conducted a study to determine the socioeconomic impact of TB on patients and their households.
