Title
Results of treatment of culture positive cases of tuberculosis at Ramathibodi Hospital between 1970-1974
The result of treatment of 234 culture positive cases of tuberculosis was reviewed. Drug resistances were high in both the initial and retreatment group. The outcome of treatment is significantly better in the pulmonary clinic than in others clinics. The worst result of treatment was from the retreatment group. Patients from the provinces had lower percentage of completion of therapy as compared to patients from the Bangkok area. The implication of these data and means to improve the result of treatment are discussed.
