title: [Bacterio-epidemiological significance of diabetes mellitus-pulmonary tuberculosis syntropy].
abstract: The author discusses infectivity before and after complex treatment with the classical tuberculostatics in 42 diabetics with chronic pulmonary tuberculosis of the total of 78 subjects followed up for three years, the other 36 subjects being compensated metabolically and pulmonarily. Although the number of negative cases increased fourfold there remained a high proportion of bacilli eliminators, the diabetics becoming negative at a much slower rate.
