Abstract
1. False-positive tests for glycosuria using Benedict's test were found in 30 of 40 patients receiving antituberculosis drug therapy with isoniazid, para-aminosalicylic acid and streptomycin, in a range of trace to two plus. 2. None of the patients had false-positive reaction for glycosuria using a specific enzyme impregnated test paper (Tes-Tape). 3. The use of enzyme impregnated testing paper is recommended for the routine determination of glycosuria in patients receiving the present day commonly used antituberculosis drugs. It appeared sufficiently accurate in detecting true glycosuria when compared with Benedict's reagent in testing urines with known concentrations of glucose.
