The date is important, since this general survey of amyloidosis was begun at a time when the new combined chemotherapeutic and surgical attack upon tuberculosis was to improve the prognosis even in far advanced cases.Because reversal of amyloidosis secondary to tuberculosis has been recorded as a rare event in scattered clinical reports,1, 2, 3and doubt has been expressed2that amyloid deposits are ever re-absorbed, the subject seemed worthy of investigation. Likewise, a review of the nature of hepatic impairment in this disease...Bibliography1. Reiman H: Recovery from amyloidosis, J. A. M. A. 104: 1070 (Mar. 30) 1935. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
