Abstract:
60 patients with newly acquired pulmonary tuberculosis AFB (+) treated in Phuc Yen central Hospital of tuberculosis and lung disease from March/2000 to March/2001 were divided into 2 groups. Group I – 30 subjects used the procedure of 2SHZ/6HE and group II – 30 subjects, the procedure of 2SHZ/4RZ. The ratio of becoming negative AFB in sputum is the same in two groups, 93.3% after 2 months of treatment and 100% at the end of treatment. By 2SHRZ/6HE, the succesful resnet accounts for 96.7%, and 2SHRZ/4RH 100%. After 2 months of treatment, most of symptoms were resolved quickly and entirely resolved at the end of treament. In two groups the gain of weight is similar. By X-rays examination, good response appeared similarly in two groups (90-93%)
