Excerpt
Before a patient begins chemotherapy, it is very important to find out from the patient whether he has previously taken drugs for tuberculosis. Treatment regimens differ in type and strength of drugs and in length of treatment. A patient who has never taken antituberculosis drugs (or has taken these drugs for one month or less) will start on a different treatment regimen than a patient who has taken anti-tuberculosis drugs in the past for more than one month.
