Current Results in Treatment of Tuberculous Meningitis and Miliary Tuberculosis

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of treatment of tuberculous meningitis in children who were admitted to the Children's Hospital, Sheffield, during 1954. Fifteen of these were admitted to the pro- fessorial unit, while five were under the care of Dr. T. Colver. The study is a direct continuation of earlier work In the last paper I reported the results of a controlled therapeutic trial in which the use of isoniazid was compared with that of streptomycin and P.A.S., and in which all patients received a minimum of 45 intrathecal streptomycin injections.
