Abstract

|
|
Attentions have been devoted to the biological and chemotherapeutical studies on the acid fast bacilli isolated from 220 patients who were admitted to the National Kongju Hospital from March to June in 1980.
The results were summerized as follows:
1. The sex distribution of 220 patients were 152 males and 68 females.
2. Seventy (31. 8°%) strains of acid fast bacilli were isolated from 220 patients sputa.
3. Culture were considerablely more sensitive than direct smear in detecting the presence
of mycobacteria. 78.6 percent of all culture positive were positive in the direct smear.
4. When the 70 isolated strains classified by Runyon groups, 6 strains (8. 5%) were belong to the rapid growers and the rest 64 strains (91. 5%) were belong to the M. tuberculosis.
5. In drug sensistivity test, drug resistant strains were found 16. 6 percent of isoniazid (1,ug/ml), 37. 0 percent of streptomycin (10,ug/ml) and 40. 3 percent of ethambutol (2pg/ml).
From the above results, it was suggested that the majorities of tuberculosis patients were caused by the infection of M. tuberculosis, that strains were resistant to the anti-tuberculosis drugs. It is mainly caused by the increasing occurrence of resistant bacilli which is attributable to inadequate drug medication. The correct chemotherapy based on reliable sensitivity test. It prevents the occurrence of resistant bacilli, relapses and stops the progress of the diseases.
