چکیده
Thirty two positive sputa from 104 untreated cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, were tested for sensitivities against antituberculosis drugs. Twenty four were positive on direct smear as well as culture while 8 were only culture positive. Nine (28%) were resistant to Isoniazid, 3 (9.4%) to Streptomycin and 2 (6.3%) were resistant to both the drugs. All the 32 were sensitive to Rifampicin and Ethambutol(JPMA 38: 73 , 1988).
