Detailed Description
Retreatment of tuberculosis involves the management of entities as diverse as relapse, failure, treatment after default, and poor patient adherence to the previous treatment. The emergence of conditions for selection of resistance (failure and partial abandonment) is a matter of great concern. The current chemotherapy is the primary interventions, but the long-term drug combination therapy often leads to adverse reactions. The purpose of this study that is to exploring the role of Chinese medicine Qinbudan on Patients who are initially sputum smear positive or culture-positive who have been treated previously for pulmonary tuberculosis.
