The Action of PAS on the Tuberculous Empyemata During the Artificial Pneumothorax Treatment

N. OECONOMOPOULOS M.D.1 and D. LIACACOS M.D.2

1 Professor of Phtisiology at the Athens University Medical School.
2 Instructor at the Sanatorium "Sotiria."

1) Seventeen patients with tuberculous empyema complicating artificial pneumothorax were treated with PAS.

2) The effect of aminacyl on closed empyemata can be generally considered as satisfactory, although it differs in degree from one case to another.

3) Complete cure, through resorption of the effusion occurred in a small percentage (4 in 11 cases), but more rapidly than through the usual therapeutic methods.

4) The effect on fistulae is not satisfactory judging from our three cases.

5) Better results may be obtainable when the drug is available for larger and more frequent doses.
