title: [Effectiveness of a fast culture method for mycobacteria as a therapeutic control and within the scope of diagnosis].
abstract: A rapid method for culturing mycobacteria using a liquid medium and a rotating incubator was applied in routine examinations parallel with the conventional methods. As therapy control the rapid method appeared unsuitable, for the cultures are checked by microscopy and during therapy there is a period in which mycobacteria are visible but not multiplying. Within the diagnostics results are available somewhat earlier but the efficiency of the rapid culture is less than with the method in general use.
