Co-existent chronic glanders and multiple cystic osseous tuberculosis treated with streptomycin

1. 1. A case is presented in which chronic glanders and cystic tuberculosis of bone coexisted. The causative organisms of both diseases were isolated and identified. ∗ ∗ We are indebted to Dr. Roy C. Avery and Dr. G. John Buddingh of the Department of Pathology and Bacteriology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, for their assistance in isolating and identifying the micro-organisms from this case. 2. 2. Penicillin therapy was ineffective. Treatment with streptomycin seemed to be curative for glanders but in the dosage used had little or no effect upon the tuberculosis of bone.
