General considerations in intermittent drug therapy of pulmonary tuberculosis
Postgrad Med J.
1971 Nov.
Abstract
The advantages of intermittent chemotherapy for pulmonary tuberculosis are discussed and the results of several controlled trials summarized. Once-weekly therapy now appears a definite prospect.
The most appropriate approach to therapy at both national and individual physician level now seems to be a combination of unsupervised daily and supervised intermittent regimens.
