EMANUEL SCHWARTZ M.D., F.C.C.P.1; HENRY H. KALTER M.D., F.C.C.P.1; and SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 The Bedford Chest Clinic of the Bureau of Tuberculosis, New York City Department of Health.

Nine patients with intrathoracic tuberculous lymphadenitis were treated in the Bedford Chest Clinic with isoniazid in conjunction with PAS or[SEE THE FIGURES 3A,3B,4A,4B IN SOURCE PDF] streptomycin. Marked regression of the lymphadenitis was observed in the majority (seven out of nine) within two to four months. The results were of sufficient significance to warrant the suggestion of a diagnostic trial of anti-mycobacterial treatment in patients with obscure unilateral intrathoracic lymph node disease in the presence of a positive tuberculin skin test.
