Book Review INFANTILE TUBERCULOSIS, by Pierre Lowys. Preface by Professor Debre. Published 'by Flammarion, Paris, 1948. The book presents a complete treatise on infantile tuberculosis, as useful to the practising physician to whom it brings everything he should know, as to the pediatrician or tuberculosis specialist, who will find in it the solution of all the questions bearing on the subject. Having explained his modern conception of the evolution of tuberculous disease, and shown how the infant becomes tuberculous, Lowys discusses the clinical aspects, the development, the prognosis, the allergic manifestations, the tuberculin reactions and their variations, the laboratory data and theirsign1f1cance, illustrating the chapter on radiology by a number of plates. The differential diagnosis is presented from a specially critical and practical viewpoint. ' The second half of the book is devoted to treatment (medical, collapse therapy, surgical, prophylactic) . No detail is left uncovered. Based upon the observation of 2,000 infants, of 20,000 plates of the chest, at the sanatorium of Rocdes-Flz (Passy, Hte Savoie), arising from the particularly careful and benevolent experience of a pioneer in infantile tuberculosis as is Lowys, this book is an epoch making document. Paul Veran, M.D., Nantes, France.
