The preliminary bacteriological results of a survey carried out in the Sahara desert and concerning antituberculosis treatment are reported. Two regimens were compared ; a twelve-months regimen SHE/HE and six months regimen RHEZ/RH. Out of 370 patients admitted in one year, 292 had a positive smear, whereas 40 had not any bacteriological proof. 275 strains were isolated and 205 were tested to antituberculosis drugs; 15% showed a resistance to a least one drug. The 15% rate was in fact very different from one sanitary district to another. The search for INH metabolites in the urines of patients before treatment showed 67 positive cases out of 341. The follow up was carried out at the 5th, 6th, 9th and 12th month after admission, smears and cultures of sputum and detection of INH metabolites in urines were used.
