Compliance with post\u2010treatment follow\u2010up was very poor in both provinces; only 25% had undergone at least one post\u2010treatment follow\u2010up examination, &lt;1% had undergone the required four follow\u2010up examinations.

Moreover, in analogy to tuberculosis control programs, HAT control programs need to adopt a recording and reporting routine that includes reporting on treatment outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2012.03042.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,19]],"date-time":"2012-07-19T12:24:00Z","timestamp":1342700640000},"page":"1127-1132","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Treatment outcomes for human African Trypanosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: analysis of routine program data from the world\u2019s largest sleeping sickness control program"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Hasker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Mpanya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Makabuza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Mbo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Lumbala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Kumpel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Claeys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Kande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Ravinetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Menten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Lutumba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Boelaert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2915.2005.00580.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0000333"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1109.041020"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2005.01391.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/649917"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-308X(01)49038-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)61117-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2004.01240.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1406.071266"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.0050055"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-072X-9-57"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/5.1.63"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization(2006)The revised TB recording and reporting forms \u2013 version 2006 [document on the internet].WHO.http:\/\/www.who.int\/tb\/dots\/r_and_r_forms\/en\/index.html."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization(2008)Implementing the WHO Stop TB strategy A handbook for national tuberculosis control programmes [document on the internet].WHO.http:\/\/whqlibdoc.who.int\/publications\/2008\/9789241546676_eng.pdf."}],"container-title":["Tropical Medicine &amp;
