Abstract
Of the various pathological states mentioned as contraindications against convulsive treatment in mental disease, tuberculosis and other affections of the lungs rank among the most important. It may generally be considered less dangerous than insulin coma therapy (which has been observed to activate pulmonary tuberculosis), but many authors warn against it. Very few, how–ever, have actually published observations of exacerbations of the tuberculous process consequent to convulsive therapy.
