[Frequency of isolation of tuberculous bacilli as a function of some mechanical factors in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
A series of mechanical factors, such as postural changes and every day movements, favour mobilization of bronchoalveolar secretions and, hence, offer greater chanses of detecting the tuberculosis bacillus. It is recommended to collect, in out-patient units, two sputum samples, one in the morning and the second several hours later, after beginning the day's work.
