Tuberculosis, yet rare a disease in Acute Medical Units, has to be kept in mind in the medical practice. The Authors reviewed almost five years' experience in an Acute Medical Unit and summarized the clinical aspects of the patients observed. They also highlighted the importance of the history of tbc and predisposing conditions. The usefullness of some investigations in the diagnosis of the disease has been stressed and time from presentation to diagnosis has been evaluated for every patient.
The authors present one case of osteoid osteoma of the carpal scaphoid, emphasizing the clinical rareness of the disease. Methods of diagnosis used and surgical treatment performed are described.
Ampicillin at 2-4 g/day per os and 2 g/12 hr slow venous drip gave good results in 88% of 25 and 90% of 20 cases of bronchopneumopathy respectively. Tolerance was excellent in all but 4 cases. In spite of the introduction of new semi-synthetic penicillins, it is felt that ampicillin must still be rated as one of the most effective and best tolerated antibiotics. At the doses at present recommended, it is of particular significance in the treatment of aged subjects.
