Abstract
Some experiences with oleothroax have been recorded. They concern its employment in
the treatment of tuberculous lesions of the lungs and pleura. Some exampies of its
value and limitations as a supplement to pneumothroax in the treatment of bronchiectasis
have also been included. One case in which oleothroax was successfully employed to
supplement an incomplete thoracoplasty for pulmonary tuberculosis, which had to be
abandoned, because of a purulent pleural effusion on the affected and because of activity
in the opposite lung is also reported. The foregoing and other unrecorded experiences
justify our continued use of this form of treatment for purposes of compression and
disinfection oniy in selected cases when other recognized methods fai1. More and later
observations are obviously necessary before the true value of oleothroax in any given
type of case can be determined.
