 Realistic chemotherapeutic policies for tuberculosis in India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Further, principally owing to the rapid sputum conversion of patients receiving effective chemotherapy there was no increased risk of contracting the disease to close family contacts of the patients treated at home, the main risk to them being before treatment had begun (Andrews et al, 1960; Kamat et al, 1966).
These studies also clearly showed that the traditionally held virtues of sanatorium treatment namely, prolonged bed-rest, good diet, good airy accommodation, nursing and isolation were remarkably unimportant provided adequate chemotherapy was administered.
Because of these findings and because of the gross shortage of hospital beds for tuberculosis, ambulatory chemotherapy for the major or the entire period of treatment has become the accepted practice in the tuberculosis control programmes in India as well as in many other developing countries of the world.
