  		Fig. 2 —Semiquantitation of sputum acid-fast bacilli over time. Changes over time in pulmonary uptake of 67Ga citrate corresponding to varied burden of pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis, indicated by semiquantitations of sputum acid-fast bacilli in enrolled patients receiving anti-TB treatment. Because plots from different patients in same chronologic assessment overlapped each other, Arabic numerals indicating numbers of overlapped plots were put in circles representing plots for specific intensity of pulmonary 67Ga uptake.
