The effectiveness of sputum pH analysis in the prediction of response to therapy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
Purpose. The predictive factor of response to antituberculous therapy has not been fully elucidated. Airway acidity has been thought to be a potential indicator of the bactericidal activity. Therefore, we hypothesized that monitoring airway acidity by measuring sputum pH could predict response to th...
