Summary
This paper is a report of the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis by cortisone combined
with standard chemotherapy. The clinical, bacteriological and radiological findings
are presented in nineteen patients. Cortisone can be safely administered to the tuberculous
subject if it is covered by anti-tuberculous chemotherapy. Symptomatic improvement
is commonly observed and weight gain is largely permanent. Eleven of nineteen patients
were considered to have shown accelerated improvement with cortisone and the best
results occurred in relatively acute lesions.
