肺結核症におけるいわゆる甲状腺症状について

抄録

Examinations were made on pulmonary tuberculous patients who had either hyper- or hypo-thyroidism. The main symptoms of hyperthyroidism among the above mentioned patients were tumor, nervousness, palpitation, hyperthidrosis, dyspnoea, body weight loss, weakness, goiter, etc. Whereas, the main symptoms of hypothyroidism were pallor of skin, loss of hair, pallor of lips and menorrhagia etc.
The appearance of the above thyroid disturbance was seen more frequently among patients whose tuberculous conditions were serious, the patients whose process and prognosis wore werse than the others, and the patients who were treated with larger doses of PAS. This tendency was noted among hyper-and hypo-thyroid patients.
