Summary
Three cases of pulmonary tuberculosis having long-term treatment with corticotrophin
and chemotherapy are described.
Clinical and radiological improvement occurred when corticotrophin was added to the
treatment of patients previously deteriorating on streptomycin and PAS or isoniazid.
Long-term treatment up to one year is possible.
Treatment with corticotrophin can be used with safety for rheumatoid arthritis and
psoriasis, complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis, provided that adequate chemotherapy
is given.
