A questionnaire survey was undertaken in those patients (n = 105) with freshly detected pulmonary tuberculosis who had refused to be treated with antituberculous therapy. The patients' reasons for refusing the above therapy was that they are not in the money to buy medicines (42.86%) and they have a distrust of existing therapies commonly applied in dealing with the medical problem under consideration (30.48%), as evidenced by the questionnaires analysis performed.
