Sixteen patients treated for bronchial asthma were diagnosed as active tuberculosis. The following clinical characteristics were demonstrated. Clinical signs and radiogaraphic features of pulmonary tuberculosis were atypical especially in the steroid-therapy group and because of this tendency the diagnosis of tuberculosis were delayed. As a general, anti-tuberculous chemotherapy was effective in both the steroid-therapy group and non-steroid-therapy group. But asthmatic control became more difficult due to the associated tuberculosis in some cases. Careful clinical observations as well as regular sputum examinations and roentgenograms seemed to be more appropriate than prophylactic therapy with INH for high risk patients on steroid. High-dosed BDI requires far more studies for susceptibility to tuberculosis.
