Abstract
A large-scale multi-centric study in
South India was organised by the Tuberculosis
Research Centre, Madras. The regimens
c o n s i s t e d o f Rifampicin, Isoniazid,
Streptomycin and Pyrazinamide, administered
under supervision, twice or thrice a week for
the first 2 months, followed by different
combinations of 2 or 3 drugs administered
twice or once a week for the next 4 months. The
patients were followed up with intensive
bacteriological examination. The response at
the end of chemotherapy and the relapse rates
during a 4½-year follow-up in approximately
1,000 patients with drug-sensitive organisms
initially and 200 patients with organisms
initially drug resistant are presented.
