Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tuberculin in Diagnosis and Treatment The use of tuberculin in diagnosis and treatment has received wide attention during the past ten years. New methods of application in diagnosis have stimulated a keen interest to determine their value, and recent changes in attitude toward important questions bearing upon immunity have provoked extensive researches, undertaken to make clear its mode of action. Tuberculin treatment, sternly rejected after its unsuccessful introduction, has again become widely popular and discussion is waged as to its true value, the most desirable preparation and the best methods of administration. A voluminous literature has grown up, and from these innumerable contributions we are now in a position to filter off certain facts that have crystallized. About much we are still uncertain, but there is enough that is definite to permit us to take bearings for our practical course. While this literature is easily accessible, it is widely distributed and a large part of the best of it is in foreign languages. No satisfactory summary has appeared in English, and such a summary seems particularly desirable, as overstatements and misconceptions incident to early enthusiasm have stuck fast in the minds of many and have remained uncorrected by the overwhelming evidence of later investigations. In our experience there is a very general lack of knowledge of precisely what a reaction to tuberculin means, and of what account is the information gained from its use when applied to a particular instance. Numerous cases are still sent to us with a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis based solely upon a positive cutaneous reaction, and in medical discussion one hears the most bizarre interpretations of the subcutaneous test. During the past five years we have used tuberculin largely, both in diagnosis and treatment, at the Phipps Dispensary of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the experience we have gained is made the basis of this presentation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Immunisation in the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Other Diseases: Comprising Paper Read Before the Royal Society of Medicine, March, 1909 It is generally considered that production and maintenance of immunity to infection are questions only of protection against bacteria and their products. I submit, in the light of increasing knowledge of the phenomena of cellular pathology: - (1) That this interpretation ignores such additional factors in the sum-total of infection as autolysis and other anomalies of cell-metabolism, as well as the toxic products of such anomalies, and is therefore far too restricted. (2) That its acceptance accounts for the limited success that has so far attended all hetero-inoculative methods of fighting infective disease. (3) That until this be realised no great advance is possible in the specific treatment and prevention, not only of conditions admittedly the result of bacterial invasion, but of many other diseases in no way related thereto. In order to maintain such propositions as these I shall bring evidence to show: - (1) That spontaneous auto-inoculation, being a process of natural cure of infection by auto-serum and auto-vaccine therapy, incites the restraint of all the factors concerned, and (2) That artificial auto-inoculation is on that account immeasurably superior to hetero-inoculation, whenever it can be conveniently applied. I shall also call attention to a novel method of interpreting temperature charts in terms of immunity curves, and shall refer to the advantages of measuring the antitryptic powers of the blood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of a reference work aimed at all those concerned with dealing with tuberculosis control in developing countries. The book follows in the tradition of Kurt Toman's original work in this field, with the text set out in a question and answer format, grouped under three headings: case detection; treatment, and monitoring. The threat of tuberculosis is still potent, with two million deaths globally. This new edition, containing contributions from a number of experts in this field, addresses the resurgence of tuberculosis, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacilli, and the growth of HIV-infected individuals with tuberculosis, as well as recent scientific developments.
