Antituberculous therapy in pregnancy. Risks to the fetus.

A total of 1,939 reported births to mothers who received isoniazid ethambutol, rifampin and streptomycin alone or in combination, for all or part of their pregnancies, were surveyed to determine teratogenicity of these agents. There was no significant increase in birth defects with isoniazid, ethambutol and rifampin, in contrast to the use of streptomycin which was associated with mild auditory and vestibular defects. Guidelines for the treatment of active tuberculosis in pregnancy are therefore established.

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia: a report of four cases and a review of the literature.

The clinical and radiological findings of four patients with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia are presented. This brings the total number of cases in the English literature to 27. A comparison of all 27 patients is given. The syndrome can readily be distinguished from other eosinophilic pneumonias. After appropriate evaluation, a therapeutic trial can often be initiated with corticosteroids without the necessity for histologic confirmation of the diagnosis.
