title: [Tuberculosis and caustic eso-gastric burns. Critical reflections on one case].
abstract: The diagnostic problems which may be raised during caustic oesophago-gastric burns and concommittent tuberculosis, of which the symptoms may be masked by the richness of the initial clinical picture are discussed here. The authors emphasise the necessity of prophylactic anti-tuberculous treatment, before any surgery when there is any suggestion of tuberculosis even siabilised.
