The value of sputum smear microscopy (SSM) after 2 months treatment in the management pulmonary tuberculosis is controversial. We analysed second month-SSM conversion as a predictor success Brazil.Overall successful outcome rate was 89.4%. predictive for outcomes 85.2% 72,479/85,118), while non-conversion unfavourable 26.9% (2712/10,071). Unfavourable were twice more likely among patients who did not convert (adjusted OR = 2.06; 1.97-2.16).
