Adult Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Early Diagnosis

SAM H. SNIDER M.D., F.A.C.P.1

1 Kansas City, Mo.

1. Early diagnosis should now be changed to mean diagnosis of childhood type tuberculosis.

2. History is a very important aid in making the diagnosis.

3. Negative physical examination has little value in excluding pulmonary tuberculosis, but the presence of positive physical findings is a definite indication of disease.

4. Roentgen-ray studies carefully made and interpreted are indispensable to good work in the early diagnosis of tuberculosis.

5. Positive sputum examinations usually indicate an ulcerative process while a great many negative specimens are necessary for the exclusion of pulmonary tuberculosis.
