摘 要：1. Studies were made on the effects of various factors that influence radiographic improvement or aggravation in 442 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis treated by ambulatory chemotherapy at the Peking Municipal Tuberculosis Dispensary from 1953 to 1960.2. Analysis of the material was made after stratified randomization and the groups were rendered strictly comparable.3. With radiographic improvement, the effects of initial treatment or re-treatment, continuity of medication and the type of the initial lesion were found to be significant. However, the extent of the initial lesion, sex, age and drug regimen showed no significant effect. 4. With radiographic aggravation, the effects of the type and size of the residual lesion at the end of medication, and the duration of medication were significant. The other factors, namely, initial treatment or re-treatment, age, sex, initial lesion, degree of improvement, and drug regimen, showed no significant effect.5. The majority of previously untreated cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, where the lesion is reversible, can be rendered stable under uninterrupted chemotherapy. Further, continuous chemotherapy of any type of the initial lesion for 18 months or longer was satisfactory, provided that the post-treatment residual lesion reached a stable stage.
