[Control of tuberculosis in Nepal. A project. Initial results, experiences].
2,124 persons were examined in 16 months. 328 of these were tuberculosis patients requiring treatment. When treated, 74%, 81% and 97% of the patients showed conversion of sputum after 2, 4 and 6 months, respectively. Sensitivity tests (n = 223) yielded 19% monoresistances and 5% resistances against 2 drugs. 87% of the patients took their tablets regularly; 8.7% discontinued the treatment.
