Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) for the Treatment of Tuberculosis Fact sheet describing how to use DOT with TB patients. Download PDF version formatted for print: National TB treatment guidelines strongly recommend using a patient-centered case management approach - including directly observed therapy ("DOT") - when treating persons with active TB disease.

DOT means that a trained health care worker or other designated individual (excluding a family member) provides the prescribed TB drugs and watches the patient swallow every dose. Why use DOT? • We cannot predict who will take medications as directed, and who will not. People from all social classes, educational backgrounds, ages, genders, and ethnicities can have problems taking medications correctly. • Studies show that 86-90% of patients receiving DOT complete therapy, compared to 61% for those on self-administered therapy. • DOT helps patients finish TB therapy as quickly as possible, without unnecessary gaps. • DOT helps prevent TB from spreading to others. • DOT decreases the risk of drug-resistance resulting from erratic or incomplete treatment. • DOT decreases the chances of treatment failure and relapse. Who can deliver DOT? • A nurse or supervised outreach worker from the patient's county public health department normally provides DOT. • In...
