RESUMO
This paper presents the results of a five year follow-up study of a cohort of children under fifteen years of age with tuberculosis. One group received standard treatment, and the other group received short course treatment. In the standard group there were four treatment failures, while in the other group, all the subjects had an excellent evolution and there were no failures. There was not a statistically significant difference regarding treatment failures, it is recommended, however, to carry out similar studies with greater sample sizes in order to determine the benefits of the short course treatment.
