Over the last 15 years, the reaction of erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR) has become widely used. Initially used only in gynaecological diseases, it later acquired the right to citizenship for a variety of diseases (heart diseases, genitourinary tract diseases, rheumatism, etc.), but especially for tuberculosis. It is rare that there is a dispensary or sanatorium, let alone an institute, where ESR does not occupy an honourable place among the various research methods, so it is not surprising that the ESR's importance is sufficiently covered in the medical press. Individual articles and even entire monographs are devoted to this issue.

Immunity and allergy in tuberculosis are the subject of a great deal of work in all languages ​​and from a variety of perspectives. And the urgency of these questions for the whole problem of tuberculosis is such that they invariably come forward as soon as at least a private but more or less important fundamental topic is touched upon. A review of the literature shows that most of these issues are written by representatives of theoretical disciplines, but it is interesting to note that the leading concepts in the field of immunity and allergies were created by clinicians — Ranke and Pirke.

Sleep sickness or lethargic epidemic encephalitis, which swept through Europe and America between 1919-23, caused mass diseases in many countries with a wide range of lesions of the nervous system, from relatively mild forms of parkinsonism to epiliptoid attacks, mental disorders and mental degeneration. The peculiarity of this disease lies in the fact that by affecting to varying degrees the most important centres of life in the subcortical and hypothalamic regions, it is as if it was setting up a randy clinical experiment on tens of thousands of patients. The rarest complication in epidemics, lethargy and encyphalitis is symptomatic narcolepsy.

A whole arsenal of products has been offered to combat hemoptysis in lung tissue, the number of which proves their relative value. In 34 cases, the author, following the example of Ravin, Benzaken and Vid, injected 300-600 kbc of oxygen under the skin of the sick side of the chest. In 25 cases, the stoppage of hemoptysis was quick and definitive, in 6 cases the oxygen injection had to be repeated several days in a row, in 7 cases the effect was not obtained.

A common reason for misdiagnosing tuberculosis is misinterpretation of subfebrary temperatures. In fact, everyone should know their normal exact temperature. The temperature curve is very individual for each person. The temperature, which in one person is already an expression of a fever, is considered normal in another person.

With parenteral injection of magnes. sulfur, the authors observed a decrease in systolic pressure in 40 and 50 cases of hypertension. The effect was maintained for at least 2 weeks.

The author, recognizing the Zondek-Aschheim'a reaction extremely valuable for determining early pregnancy, considers its length of time to receive a response (100 hours) to be a great disadvantage, and therefore it is not very suitable in cases where it is required to quickly achieve an accurate diagnosis (ectopic pregnancy).
