General considerations in intermittent drug therapy of pulmonary tuberculosis

W Fox. 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.
