Abstract
- A study of concentration smear, culture for AFB and sensitivity test for antituberculous drugs was carried out in 810 patients who had been admitted in SNUH in the period of 12 months from January 1976 to December 1976. Acid-fast bacilli was confirmed in 110 cases (13.6%) by concentrated direct smear and in 88 cases(10.9%) by culture, and concomitantly sensitivity test was performed in 26 isolated cases. Streptomycin, INH, PAS, Kanamycin and Ethionamide were rather less sensitive to the strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but all strains obtained during the period of this study were highly sensitive to Rifampicin.
