Taking bronchial sputum by method of transoral aspiration were carried out in 167 smear negative patients who were strongly suspected to have pulmonary tuberculosis clinically.<BR>Out of these patients, 39 cases were confirmed to be pulmonary tuberculosis finally, and the results of analysis are as follows. In twenty two cases with negative smear and culture, two had positive results in smear and four in culture by using bronchial sputum specimens. Therefore, six cases (27.3%) were confirmed bacteriologically. In the other seventeen cases with negative smear and positive culture, four cases had positive smear immediately after using this method. Temporary increasing of the shadow on the X-ray film was seen in only one case after this procedure.<BR>According to the results mentioned above, it is considered to be very useful to apply direct sampling method of bronchial sputum to patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in order to confirm diagnosis in the early stage.
