Streptomycin treatment in Menière's disease.
Streptomycin treatment in Menière's disease has traditionally been used for control of vertigo in patients with severe bilateral involvement or unilateral involvement in the only hearing ear. Guidelines for use that have worked at the Shea Clinic are presented.
