Abstract：Objectives To evaluate the therapeutic effect of capreomucin (CPM)ultrasonic aerosol inhala-tion spray combined with antitubercular agents in the treatment of retreated sputum positive pumonary tuberculosis.Methods One hundred and twenty-six retreated patients with sputum positive of AFB were randomly divided into 2 groups: treatment group had CPM aerosolization combined with rational chemotherapy and control group only had chemotherapy. Results After 3 months of treatment, the rates of sputum negtive conversion and radiological im-provement in the treatment group were 82.5% and 93.7% respectively, much higher than those in the control group (73.0% and 80.9% respectively) (P< 0.01). Conclusion Our study showes that antitubercular agents with CPM ultrasonic aerosolization have better therapeutic effect than chemotherapy alone.
