Summary

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death among the "communicable" diseases in the world. Pulmonary TB, the main localization, leads to the dissemination of cases. An earlier diagnosis of contagious pulmonary TB is a cornerstone to stop the air transmission. The aim of the study will be to compare two strategies, in patients with a chest-X-ray in favour of contagious pulmonary TB: the classical strategy of sputa collection during three consecutive early mornings, versus the studied strategy of sputa collection at hour h, hour h+1, hour h+2 during the first early morning.
