Abstract
1. 1. The essential features of the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis are pulmonary infiltration by chest roentgenogram, the finding of acid-fast bacilli in concentrated sputum smears or M. tuberculosis on culture of sputum or gastric washings and a positive tuberculin reaction. The symptoms have a fairly reliable pattern, but together with the physical signs are unreliable in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis except in the late stages of the disease. 2. 2. The treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis may conveniently be divided into five parts: (1) chemotherapy, (2) rest and education, (3) collapse, both temporary and permanent, (4) pulmonary resection, and (5) other measure.
