The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently published programme guidlines for the treatment of tuberculosis. In certain cases, especially extrapulmonary tuberculosis, a combination of anti-tuberculous drugs and corticosteroid is assumed to be useful.Key words : pulmonary tuberculosis - extrapulmonary tuberculosis - anti tuberculous drug - corticosteroid
