Tracheo-bronchial disease is still a problem. Many patients in whom tuberculous disease of the walls of the bronchi can be visualized through the bronchoscope are not permanently cured by drugs.

With prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment more patients with pulmonary tuberculosis are now getting well than ever could have done so previously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
