Cost of a complete course of treatment for latent tuberculous infection with either 9H or 3HP administered by DOT from a health care worker. Patients receiving 9H have an initial clinic visit and eight later clinic visits; those receiving 3HP have an initial clinic visit, two later clinic visits and 12 visits by a health care worker for DOT. Patient costs include out-of-pocket expenses and lost productivity; other costs are costs to the health system. Costs are in 2010 US dollars. 3HP = 3 months of weekly isoniazid plus rifapentine; 9H = 9 months of daily, self-administered isoniazid; DOT = directly observed treatment.
