Prednisolone in Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Controlled Trial

Abstract

The Research Committee of the Tuberculosis Society of Scotland (1957) published a preliminary account of the results of a controlled trial of the use of prednisolone in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. That report was an analysis of the results attained in 110 patients who had completed six months' treatment. This present report is concerned with the results achieved in all patients 213 in number admitted to the trial between February, 1956, and December, 1957. The patients were studied for a period of 12 months from the beginning of treatment.
