The Value of Steroids in the Treatment of Moderately Advanced Pulmonary Tuberculosis

A. J. Imari M.D.1

1 Assistant Professor, College of Medicine, and Consulting Chest Physician, Republic Hospital, Baghdad

1. Forty patients with moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis were studied between March, 1960 and July, 1960.

2. Twenty, including those with tuberculous laryngitis and pleural effusion in addition to pulmonary tuberculosis, were treated with a standard antituberculosis chemotherapeutic regimen and also with steroids.

3. The results in those patients who received steroids were much better and more rapid than in the others.

4. No complication was seen, except one young woman developed a Cushing syndrome-like condition which disappeared on gradual withdrawal of the steroids.
