Abstract
1.
Of 74 cases of tuberculous effusion, 33 per cent. required aspiration.
2.
All the cases were treated in hospital and sanatorium.
3.
Of 57 cases traced after a lapse of four to six years, 72 per cent. are quiescent and 24 per cent. are dead.
4.
Contact infection was marked between the ages 2 to 12 years.
5.
The occurrence of tuberculous peritonitis as a complication in 6 instances is of interest.
