Division of Chemical Pathology

A bacteriological and pathological investigation of tuberculosis meningitis in the Western Province of the Cape of Good Hope.

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Although there have always been sporadic reports of spontaneous cures in tuberculous meningitis, up to a few years ago this diagnosis almost invariably meant death within a few weeks or months. The therapeutic use of Streptomycin in this disease has created new hope for these patients and has stimulated tremendous interest in all aspects of the disease.
