The Therapeutic Use of Iodized Oil in Chronic Bronchitis and Bronchiectasis

WILLIAM DAVIS TEWKSBURY M.D., F.A.C.P.1 and E. RAYMOND FENTON M.D.1

1 Washington, D.C.

We have treated a total of 62 cases with iodized oil. Of this number 52 patients, or 83.87 per cent, obtained either complete or partial relief of their symptoms. Ten patients, or 16.13 per cent, obtained no definite relief.

We feel after three years' experience that the therapeutic use of small doses of iodized oil in the bronchial tract is a safe procedure and a distinct advance in the treatment of chronic bronchial conditions. In our opinion this treatment should be used more generally in the future than it has been in the past.
