The material analysed comprises 207 patients with newly detected lung tbc treated in the Clinic of ++Phthisiopneumonology of the BMA during 1980-1984. The age and sex of patients, radiological picture, detuberculization resulting from the combined therapy with 4 drugs with RMP, 3 drugs + RMP and with 3 drugs without RMP were taken into account, so as was the weekly rhythm of negativity and the forms of lung tbc. The material included 143 men (69%) and 64 women (31%). The highest proportion of hospitalized patients due to lung tbc among men was within the age range from 41 to 60 years (38.5%) while among women from 21 to 40 years 42.2%). Most frequent lung tbc were hemogenous (38.2% of cases) next 26.1% were the infiltrative forms. Total tbc negativity was achieved in 98.3% of cases and the rhythm of negative sputum appeared to be markedly faster when 4 drugs were combined with RMP. Summing up, in all newly detected cases with negative sputum with radiologically active lung tbc a clinical improvement has been achieved, and the radiologically seen improvement included 92.6% of cases.
