ABSTRACT
2,124 persons were examined in 16 months. 328 of these were tuberculosis patients requiring treatment. When treated, 74%, 81% and 97% of the patients showed conversion of sputum after 2, 4 and 6 months, respectively. Sensitivity tests (n = 223) yielded 19% monoresistances and 5% resistances against 2 drugs. 87% of the patients took their tablets regularly; 8.7% discontinued the treatment.

PIP: The author uses a replacement dynamics model to decide the urbanization process as a phenomenon in which the rural population is being replaced by the urban population. The model is then used to project urbanization in Nepal for the years 1952-1981 using 1952-1954 census data.^ieng
