TY - JOUR T1 - TUberculosis in childhood. Y1 - 1949/08/01 N1 - 10.1001/archinte.1949.00230020160011 JO - Archives of Internal Medicine SP - 357 EP - 357 VL - 84 IS - 2 N2 - This book can be recommended to the pediatrician and the general practitioner as a good over-all picture of tuberculosis in childhood in all its phases. The successful treatment of tuberculous meningitis with streptomycin deserves more attention in a book appearing in 1948 than the mere statement that the drug shows some promise. The advantage of BCG vaccination of tuberculin-negative young adults as well as the importance of immediate treatment of primary tuberculosis in this age period is particularly emphasized.
