Clinic Experience with a Urine PAS Test

ERNEST RICHARD PITMAN M.D., F.C.C.P.1; E. EDWARD BENZIER M.D., F.C.C.P.1; and MELVIN KATZ M.D.1

1 Department of Health, Bureau of Tuberculosis, Kips Bay Chest Clinic.

Sixty-one patients with pulmonary tuberculosis supposedly taking PAS sodium as one of their anti-microbial drugs were subjected to a urine PAS test and questioned by a clinic physician. Twenty-five negative urine reactors and four positive urine reactors admitted taking PAS intermittently, irregularly or not at all. In all persons on PAS drug regimens, periodic check of the urine using Standard Erlichs Reagent is important to determine whether or not the patient is taking his medication.
