Abstract: Objective In order to study the feasibility of the adminicular treatment with nutrition for the patientswith sputumn positive relapsing pulmonary tuberculosis ( R P T B) ,the nutritive condition of the patients with R P T B was re searched . Method Allthe patients who hospitalized from Dec .1994 to Dec.1997 with pulmonary tuberculosis ( P T B) ofspu tumn positive was researched before treating . The data was analysed by multivarian analysis of variance characteristic roots andvectors in the S A Sof statistical package . Results 1 . The nutritive condition in the patients with R P T Bbefore treating wasworse than thatin the patients with primary treatment P T B( P< 0.01) ；2 . The a mounts ofserum albu min andlymphocyteinthe patients with R P T Bafter 2 monthstreating were morethan thatin those whosesputu mn still positive after treating .
