Background Directly observed therapy short course (DOTS) is a strategy in which a trained healthcare worker or a designated individual provides the prescribed antituberculous drugs and watches the patient to ensure the patient is taking each dose. Aim The objective of this work was to study tuberculosis situation in Cairo governorate from 2006 to 2012 after application of DOTS. Methodology This was a retrospective clinical cohort study carried out at the Cairo governorate. Results Percentages of cure and complete treatment were 61.6 and 20.4%, respectively. The incidence of failure, death, default, and transfer out decreased after DOTS (2.2, 4.5, 8.6, and 2.7, respectively). Conclusion The introduction of DOTS in the Cairo governorate has led to a treatment success rate of 82% (nearly similar to the WHO target of ′85%′).
