TUBERCULOSIS.;
? « ?
'WRONG DIAGNOSIS ALL OVER
WORLD.' »
LONDON. July 27.
-Professor Rist, of Paris, 'speaking at the
British Medical Association Conference at
Glasgow, said that when he was a consul
tant to the French Army 382 men were
sent to ?him who. were supposed to be suf
fering from lung tuberculosis. As a mat
ter of fact, only 37 of them had the disease,
22 cases -couid not be diagnosed, and 238
certainly were not tubercular. Tne dis
crepancies illustrated by these figures, he
continued, were universal. Many non
consumptives were committed to grave ex
pense and improper treatment. If the doc
tor could not find the tuberculosis bacilli
he should search for another disease to ac
count for the symptoms. Wrong diagnosis
was a feature of medical work ail over the
world. - .
