    M. tuberculosis acts as an immunological adjuvant which enhances production of humoral antibody and induces delayed hypersensitivity. Its lipid fraction designated wax D had been widely regarded as an active principle responsible for its adjuvant activity, based on experiments in which guinea pigs were mostly used.

    In view of the fact that specific immunity continues for a long period in the case of pulmonary tuberculosis, it is considered that serum antibody is not the principal factor of immunity of tuberculosis.
    However, fluctuations of the serum γ-globulin have great value, for the observation of course of pulmonary tuberculosis. In this reseach, out of 2, 642 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, we picked out cases with hypogammagloblinemia, and investigated its relation with the extent of pulmonary lesions and several other clinical factors. At the same time, we tried to search for some of the immuno-serologcal trends of pulmonary tuberculosis in cases with hypogammagloblinemia on the basis of the findings of immunoelectrophoresis.

    Introduced herewith is a new type of PPD which we have developed lately as a single dose preparation. Although the need for this type of PPD has been talked about frequently for years, the product has neither been materialized nor marketed due to difficulties in its production such as the persistent absorption of PPD protein inside its container and so forth, and the difficulty becomes more serious when the product is intended for smaller number of doses to require a miniature sized container.

    The present study was carried out in aids to determine critical concentrations for resistances to tuberactinomycin-N (TUM-N), viomycin (VM), capreomycin (CPM), and lividomycin (LVM) in patients treated with these agents and to clarify the cross-resistance-relationships among resistances to amirioglucoside-antibiotics including kanamycin (KM).
    Hospitalized patients excreting tubercle bacilli in their sputum were the subjects of observations. The patients were treated with either TUM-N, VM, CPM, VM, LVM or KM. Although TUM-N was used in two ways, daily administration and intermittent administration, the other agents were used by intermittent administration, 1 g per day, three times weekly. Two other antituberculous agents were used in combination, to which tubercle bacilli of the patients already showed resistances. The duration of administration of these aminoglucoside-antibiotics was usually 6 months, but KM was used often for one year or more. The resistances of tubercle bacilli to these agents were measured, as a rule, monthly.

    Previously the present authors reported on the mycobacteria other than tubercle bacilli isolated in the Mpilo chest hospital, Bulawayo, Rhodesia in the years 1969-1971. The purpose of the present study is to report on the species of the mycobacteria in the hospital during the 4 years'period from 1970 to 1973, and to compare the species in Rhodesia with the species in Japan. The study was undertaken in an aim to concern the ecology of mycobacteria.
