Abstract
Applying streptomycin locally to bronchial lesion in pulmonary and bronchial tuberculosis observations were made bacteriologically and cytologically on bronchial secretion for varying periods of time. The results obtained were as follows:1. The mixed infection, including the infection of staphylococci, streptococci, anddiplococci was most frequently seen in the bronchial secretion.2. There is a tendency of a decrease in number of poly-nuclear leucocytes, histiocytes and also of bacteria. A decrease in kind of the bacterial organisms was observed as result of the treatment.3. Macroscopic findings of the invaded bronchus revealed good results following the treatment.4. From standpoint of local therapy one should not overlook the importance of treatment of not only for tuberculosis but also for the infection caused by suppurative organisms in the case of bronchial tuberculosis.
