The Doctor Says— ‘Penicillin: Halts Some Cases of

Bronchiectasis Surgical Treatment May Be Unnecessary

By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.

PRACTICALLY everyone knows that penicillin, while not a “mir-

acle” drug, i§ extremely useful’ in.

certain kinds of infections. Penicillin is an extract of a common mold. » : It has the power of interfering with the growth and multiplication of certain germs both inside and outside the human body. One of the most interesting uses to which penicillin has neen put is against certain infections involving the breathing apparatus —the respiratory system, In some of these cases it has been given, not by the usual in-" jection through a needle, out by putting it into solution and spraymg it or by putting it in powder form and blowing it into the mouth and nose, Inhaled penicillin is of doubtiul or no value for tuberculosis, pneumonia and some of the other infections of the lungs or breathing apparatus. It has been used suchowever, in some patients with bronchitis caused by germs and infections. ~ » ~ IT IS OF value for some victims of asthma. And favorable results have been reported from penicillin inhalations for certain patients with chronic sinus infections and abscesses of the lungs. There is a condition also in which the bronchi, which are the breathing tubes leading into the lungs, become diseased and enlarged developing into a condition called bronchiectasis, In advanced cases of bronchiectasis, surgery has been a successful form of treatment. Penicillin, however, in the form of a spray or possibly fine powder will prevent the disease from advancing in some cases. This may make surgery unnecessary, at least in some cases.
