[Effectivity of intermittent treatment in patients with sputum-positive silico-tuberculosis (author's transl)].
89 patients with sputum-positive silico-tuberculosis got a fully supervised administered antituberculous treatment with intermittent regimens during the years 1969-1974. 65 of the patients had a history of former antituberculous treatment. In only 5 patients the treatment was unsuccessful. Four of the relapses were observed between the 6th and 11th month of treatment. One patient had a relapse 56 months after the onset of chemotherapy. The results indicate that only the quality of the anti-TB treatment is of importance for the course of the tuberculous component in silico-tuberculosis. The results are comparable with those of uncomplicated TB of the lungs.
