A trial of tuberculin with chemotherapy in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis

Interactions Between Mononuclear Phagocytes and Brucella abortus Strains of Different Virulence.

“…It is possible that such an approach already may have been employed unwittingly in the case of combined tuberculin and antibiotic treatment ( 5). Since it is likely that for these organisms residence and multiplication within phagwytes represents an advantage for the pathogen (e.g., protection from bactericidal blood factors and certain antibiotics), induced monocyte destruction by avirulent R type cells, possibly even by appropriate inert particles or other methods.…”

A concurrent comparison of home and sanatorium treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in South India

“…It will be appreciated that there is comparatively little information, obtained from controlled clinical trials, on the value of chemotherapy either in the tropics or in under-developed countries, apart from the hospital studies reported from East Africa Howells & Swithinbank, 1957;East African/British Medical Research Council Sulphone Investigation, 1959), and from India (Frimodt-M0ller, 1949(Frimodt-M0ller, , 1955Frimodt-M0ller et al, 1953Frimodt-M0ller et al, , 1954. Furthermore, a review of the world literature has revealed that few controlled studies of the relative value of bedrest and ambulation in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis have so far been reported.…”
