| Drug Resistance Pattern Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis In A Chest Diseases Hospital Of Armed Forces
J Jena, B. N Panda, S. K Nema, V. C Ohri, R. S Pahwa
June 1995, 13(2):56-59Drug susceptibility testing was carried out on all isolates of M. Tubercilosis, Sixty patients grow Mycobacterium Tuberculosis with in vitro resistance to various drugs out to 473 positive cultures (12.7%). Single drug resistance was commonest and observed in 38 out of 60 (63.3%) strains, double drug resistance in 15 (25%) and resistance to three or more drugs in seven (11.7%). Of 18 cases of relapse after short course chemotherapy, seven had drug resistant strains. All of these showed resistance of rifampicin. There was a small group of patients (ten) consisting of family members of soldiers, who showed drug resistant strains, of which six showed multidrug resistance. There were six resistant cases amongst a total of 33 patients of Tibetan origin, whereas there were three resistant cases amongst a total of 40 patients of Nepali origin. There was no significant statistical difference in occurrence of resistance amongst patients of Tibetan and Nepali origin when compared with each other (p>0.05). However, a significant difference in the occurrence of resistance amongst patients of Nepali/Tibetan origin and patients of Indian origin was found (p<0.05), with the incidence of resistance being higher in the former groups. |

| Estimation Of Serum Adenosine Deaminase In Pulmonary Tuberculosis
K. B Gupta, H Lal, K. S Khokhar, B Raj, R Sen
June 1995, 13(2):67-70Serum Adenosine Deaminase level was determined in 50 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. Mean serum ADA level 63.8 ± 10.03 U/L was found to be significantly higher as compared to extra pulmonary and non-tubercular cases, 32.8 ± 8.11 U/L, 16.78 ± 5.9 U/L. Therefore ADA level can be used as diagnostic marker with reasonable accuracy in suspected cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. |
