3HP-DOT = 3 months of directly observed once-weekly RPT (maximum dose, 900 mg) plus INH (maximum dose, 900 mg); 9H-SAT = 9 months of daily self-administered INH (maximum dose, 300 mg).

Classified as 3HP-DOT probable clinical TB in adult (n=2), spine disease (discitis) not characteristic of TB spondylitis (n = 1)and 9H-SAT probable clinical TB in adult (n = 2).

3 participants in the 3HP group and 4 in the 9H group died after month 33, and were lost at the last follow-up evaluation. They were therefore added to the lost to follow-up category.

H, INH = isoniazid; P, RPT = rifapentine; DOT = directlyobserved therapy; SAT = self-administered treatment.
