title: [[Potential and limitations of the long-term treatment of bacilliferous tuberculosis in Maniema (Zaire)].
abstract: Results after one year treatment of tuberculosis with a regimen associating streptomycin, isoniazid and thiacetazone in a rural region of eastern Zaïre are analyzed. A 46.9% cure rate is found. A high death rate (21.5%) and a relatively low number of "lost" patients (13.8%) are noted. The usefulness of the introduction of short term chemotherapy is discussed.
