On Scleroma

Abstract
Conclusions were drawn from bacteriological, histological and serological studies on 164 patients clinically observed for 3-13 years. Full recovery from scleroma was obtained in 70% of cases. Age of patients, duration of disease and manner of specific treatment were the decisive factors of curability. A hitherto unknown scheme of treating scleroma with streptomycin and other antibiotics was elaborated. This paper is the first exhaustive review of the scleroma curability problem.
