TB in the entire course of treatment, smear-and acid-fast bacilli culture and drug-sensitive test result, doctors can help develop the right treatment programme, the following specific points:

First, to help correct choice of effective drugs, whether it is the beginning of governance, rule-positive bacteria or refractory patients to avoid the use of inefficient or ineffective drugs, really reasonable, and effective medication.

Second, truly appropriate medication. While patients commonly used dose of a drug resistance, but if more appropriate dosage, can kill tuberculosis, smear-sensitivity test and enabling doctors adjust the dose, the patient can bear to the extent not loss of time.

Third, to discover the source of infection. Pai general of the large volume of patients can cause patients and the people around them attention, the smallest of the row directly thick smear-negative patients is not, under such circumstances the cultivation of acid-fast bacilli can promptly identify problems on the control of tuberculosis The epidemic is incalculable role.

Fourth, reduce the financial burden of patients, sensitivity to the surface, increasing the patient expenditure is not so. Sensitivity test because it will effect the economy and good drugs, will not be overwhelmed by a heavy economic burden, thus firm of confidence.

5, the timely termination of ineffective drug toxicity. If a patient has had a drug resistance, but have not done susceptibility testing, also continue to apply, in effect not only add to the increase in drug spending on the physical damage, delayed disease treatment.

To sum up, tuberculosis drug susceptibility testing of the treatment of TB also very important role, and this should arouse the broad masses of medical workers, patients and the importance of using smear-positive bacterial culture, and drug-sensitive test for tuberculosis has a major pre-governance significance.
