Abstract
In this issue of the European Respiratory Journal, Law et al summarise, in their systematic literature review, the evidence for measures that minimise loss to follow-up during treatment of drug-resistant TB in adults.

The greatest effect was seen when daily home visits were combined with directly observed therapy (DOT).
