Pneumonectomy in the Treatment of Tuberculosis in Children

GABRIEL M. BOTELHO M.D., F.C.C.P.1; ALBERTO CHAPCHAP M.D.1; HORACIO L. G. PEREIRA M.D.1; and OSVALDO V. CORDEIRO M.D.1

1 The Hospital-Sanatório do Mandaquí, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Four cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in children treated by resection are presented. The ages of the patients varied from eight to 13 years. All were girls, two whites and two Negroes.

These cases were of "tísica cirrótico-atelectásica," of the left side and were treated by pneumonectomy. No complication occurred in the postoperative period, and each one experienced early recovery. All gastric washings became negative soon after pneumonectomy and remained so.
