Summary: Sera from 20 patients suffering from active pulmonary tuberculosis were examined for the presence of circulating immune complexes (CICs) by Complement Consumption assay (CC-assay) and Polyethelcne Glycol precipitation assay (PEG-assay). Simultaneously, sputum was examined for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) by Microscopy and Culture techniques. CICs levels determined by above methods correlated well with effectiveness of treatment. These determinants are thus considered useful in evaluating the success or otherwise of the treatment of patients
