[The first tuberculosis cure with chemotherapy: a lupus patient in Hornheide].
Karl Wilhelm Kalkoff (1909-1981) describes in his unpublished memoirs the first cure of a female patient suffering from a severe form of tuberculosis cutis of the lupus vulgaris type. The drug used in this case was TBI/698 developed by Bayer Leverkusen, which was later named Conteben. This was the first chemotherapeutic cure of tuberculosis.
