| Abstract: | During the last decade, antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents have changed completely the treatment and outlook of pulmonary tuberculosis. In the majority of cases, the immediate results have been gratifying to physician and patient alike, but in such a disease as tuberculosis the final assessment of any form of treatment should rest more on the relapse rate than on their immediate results. This paper deals with 60 patients, all women, who started treatment during 1953 and 1954, and who have been followed up to the end of 1961. They are all women as they happen to belong to a hospital division. |
