Streptomycin in Silicotuberculosis

ARCHIBALD C. COHEN M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and GEORGE C. GLINSKY M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 The Veterans Administration Hospital, Butler, Pennsylvania.

The very hopelessness of the treatment of extensive fibro-cavitary silicotuberculosis brings with it hope for the eradication of this disease. Since it is impossible to treat successfully this combination of diseases in its late stages, it must be detected earlier when treatment may be of value. This calls for periodic examinations of silicotics, alertness for early evidence of tuberculosis, and treatment at this stage. Better yet, since both silicosis and tuberculosis are preventable diseases, and since much progress has already been made in their prevention, it seems only a matter of time until silicotuberculosis will cease to exist and its treatment will be merely of academic interest.
