Short-course chemotherapy for pulmonary tuberculosis. A 100-day interrupted regimen

A 100-day interrupted regimen is described which is a useful and efficacious treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. It is well tolerated, guarantees treatment supervision, and has acceptable relapse rates under normal programme conditions. The 5-day-a-week administration makes it particularly suitable for industrial medical services as well as for other outpatient health care clinical services.
