Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis decreased remarkably by anti-tuberculous chemotherapy, but we have had a lot of patients associated with sequelae who need medical treatment for many symptoms. We also have a lot of patients diagnosed as an extra pulmonary tuberculosis where diagnosed is usually based on histological findings and treatment duration was based on expert opinion. Besides, some patients presented with extensive tuberculosis or with so many complications that predict nonresponsive to CAT-1 tuberculosis drugs. Moreover, in these days the delayed detection of pulmonary tuberculosis that is still an important problem may cause new sequelae.
