Endoscopic classification of tracheobronchial tuberculosis with healing processes.
We established an endoscopic classification of tracheobronchial tuberculosis with healing processes. According to this classification, the period of time needed for healing was found to be shorter in patients who were treated by aerosolized streptomycin than in those treated with the conventional triple-drug oral regimen.
