Abstract

A description is given of an unselected series of sanatorium patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis, who had bilateral bronchography carried out. The radiological and bronchographic findings have been correlated and compared with the pathological appearances in resection specimens. Theories of the mechanism by which bronchiectasis is produced in pulmonary tuberculosis, the value of bronchography in the assessment of cases and the indications remaining for its use, are discussed.
