Pharmacological Management of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Century of Expert Opinions in Cecil Textbook of Medicine

Conclusions: The pharmacological management of tuberculosis has remained archaic until the middle of the 20th century. Fundamental progress occurred in a very short period (1947–1971) and was because of the recognition of the antituberculous effect of many antibiotics and chemotherapy agents. The challenges created by mycobacterial infections resistant to multiple drugs remain and have prompted the addition of new drugs in the past decade.
