dc.description.abstractThis retrospective study investigated outcomes among lost to follow-up (LTFU) adolescents and young adults (AYA, ages 10–24) with tuberculosis (TB) registered from 2008–2014 in Gaborone, using surveillance data. Of 68 LTFU AYA, 16 repeated treatment; 8 completed and 6 were again LTFU. Of 4 confirmed deaths, 3 had TB/HIV co-infection. Approaches to improve AYA retention in TB care are needed.en_US
