Summary.
When surveying how sanocrysin treatment stands after the years
that have passed, the result may be summarized as follows:
1
) The evaluation of the therapeutic results stated in the first
publication has fully stood its trial. In this treatment we for the
first time possessed a true chemotherapy against tuberculosis.
2
) The clinical pictures described in the first publication have
continually been reproduced; they depend on the dosage and on
anatomical substrata.
3
) The appearance of the reactions was from the first explained
on basis of a toxaemia, supposed to be due to the morbid processes
and not to the drug; the arguments put forth at that time were the
same as those stated above. This standpoint has further been veri
fied through a long series of works.
4
) The doses according with experimental evidence have turned
out to be the only serviceable ones, and only this form of dosage
is entitled to the name of
sariocrysm-treatment.
5
) The indications for treatment have been widened, so that now
they do not only include the different forms of medical tuberculo
sis, but also some groups of rheumatic disease of the joints.
