The Treatment of Tuberculous Tracheobronchitis with Streptomycin

SUMNER S. COHEN M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and WEN-YAO YUE M.D.2

1 Glen Lake Sanatorium, Oak Terrace, Minnesota.
2 St. Lukes Hospital, Fukien, China (Fellow at Glen Lake Sanatorium).

1) Streptomycin, in dosage of 1 gm. daily, produced healing or marked improvement in 21 (84 per cent) of 25 patients with acute tuberculous bronchitis.

2) The duration of treatment with streptomycin was determined by repeated bronchoscopic examinations and varied from 30 to 120 days in this series. At the present time treatment seldom exceeds 60 days.

3) Measures to control the associated pulmonary tuberculosis should be instituted as soon as practical after therapy with streptomycin has been completed.

4) Irreversible chronic bronchial and pulmonary changes may be averted by the judicious and timely use of streptomycin.
