During an investigation on the isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from cerebrospinal fluids of patients with the meningitis, we have observed and previously reported (64a) that in some patients tubercle bacilli could be isolated for long periods of time during treatment, and in others they could not be recovered beyond the first weeks of therapy. In both instances, however, the bacteriological findings became negative while the patients were sick, and their cerebrospinal fluid abnormal. Streptomycin and isoniazid, given to the patients continuously and for long periods of time, may vitiate the results of bacteriological examination.
