Abstract
On suspicion of tumour, thoracotomy was performed in 91 patients, who proved to have pulmonary tuberculosis. Short-term antituberculous chemotherapy was given pre-operatively in 66 cases. The 89 surviving patients received antituberculous chemotherapy after operation, and were examined one year after its termination. No signs of dissemination or other tuberculous manifestations were found, whether pre-operative therapy had been given or not.Keywords
