Abstract
A clinical review of 26 adult cases of uncomplicated miliary tuber culosis proved most rewarding when it was observed that the fever curve in 75 per cent was most typical and quite frequently became a valuable aid in establishing a working diagnosis of disseminated tuberculosis. During the first two weeks of hospitalization, temperatures ranged from 1030 to 105°F.and the third to fifth weeks were marked by daily spikes from 101° to 103°F. In the sixth and seventh weeks, elevations were noted from 1000to 102°F. and from the seventh to thirteenth week, a low grade temperature of 99°to 100°F.was frequently encountered. It is of particular interest to point out that the curve was not appre ciably altered by triple drug therapy, that is, isoniazid, streptomycin, and para-aminosalicylic acid.
