ALCOHOLISM IN TUBERCULOUS PATIENTS.

Abstract

The incidence of alcoholism among patients suffering from tuberculosis in the Tuberculosis Hospital in Winnipeg was determined, and attention is drawn to the need to treat tuberculosis and alcoholism concurrently. In all, 306 patients with tuberculosis were studied and 32 alcoholics were discovered among them. This frequency is five times that estimated in the adult population of Canada. Ninety-two per cent of these alcoholics were addicted before the tuberculous disease was discovered. No direct causative factor was discovered linking alcoholism and tuberculosis. Poor socioeconomic status appears to be a common etiological factor.
