P6‐9: A post covid activation of latent tuberculosis

education level and consumption of psychoactive substances were accessed. Results: A total of 13165 patients were identified, of which 1734 abandoned the treatment. The abandonment rate was 13% and showed a growing tendency from 2015 to 2018, but reduced after that period. Males and patients aged from 20 to 39 years old had a major propensity to an incomplete treatment (14%, 16%, respectively). Lower education level was also associated with higher abandonment rate (14%). There was a higher relative risk of incomplete treatment among patients with a history of alcoholism, tabagism and use of illegal drugs (RR: 1.88, 1.42, 2.29, respectively). Conclusion: This study showed a high abandonment rate of tuberculosis treatment between mentally ill patients and suggests that the consumption of psychoactive substances can reduce the treatment adherence. This association of risk factors can lead to increased bad outcomes. Therefore, greater efforts must be invested to keep these patients in therapy.
