title: Tuberculosis drugs.
abstract: Tuberculosis is an old disease, and for some time thought to be almost eliminated in industrial societies. With the advent of the AIDS epidemic, it has made a comeback and often in a form more virulent than was seen in the past. This article summarizes the drugs used to treat the disease and suggests ways nurses may help keep this once underestimated problem in control.
