title: [Study of adrenal function in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: In order to assess the impact of tuberculosis on the adrenal glands, 13 patients diagnosed of active pulmonary tuberculosis are studied. To this effect, basal cortisol concentrations and after stimulation with Synacthen and Nuvacthen depot were determined. In our patients, adrenal function remained intact, having as well no deleterious effect on it the treatment with tuberculostatics.
