RETURN OF MILITARY MEMBERS TO DUTY TO CONTINUE THERAPY, WHILE ON A DUTY STATUS, FOR PERIODS UP TO 12 MONTHS AND ANNUAL FOLLOW-UP FOR A MINIMUM OF FIVE YEARS AFTER COMPLETION OF CHEMOTHERAPY.

Abstract

This report presents results of the feasibility of a reasonably short period of hospitalization for military tuberculous patients and return them to duty on drugs for a period not to exceed twelve months. The military member returning to duty received PAS from this installation on a mail order basis. Other necessary drugs were obtained at their current duty stations. This was done to insure a fresh supply of PAS and also to serve as a check to insure that the patient was taking the prescribed drugs. To date 734 military members have been discharged to duty and only eight documented relapses have occurred. (Author)
