Treatment of Psychiatric Tuberculous Patients

AARON WEINER M.D., F.C.C.P.

1) Diagnostic study of the psychotic tuberculous patient can be done almost as easily as with the non-psychotic patient.

2) All forms of therapy can be given to this group of patients.

3) Major thoracic surgery in the form of thoracoplasty is entirely feasible in the psychotic patient no matter how hyperactive and uncooperative he might be before the operation.

4) In mental patients thoracoplasty, which is quicker and more permanent, is the treatment of choice.

5) Any psychotic patient can be bronchoscoped with ease with transtracheal pontocaine anesthesia and intravenous sodium pentothal.
