[Incidence of chemical diabetes in non-specific bronchopneumopathies]

In the present conditions of industrial development and of urbanization encountered in our country clinico-statistical observations show that the risk of disease can be doubled by the increased incidence of diabetes and of bronchopneumopathies with common germs. The much higher incidence of the metabolic disturbance in the asymptomatic, as well as in the clinically manifest stages of bronchopulmonary suppurative diseases, as compared with tuberculosis demonstrate the more severe evolution, as well as the medico-social implications that tend to overtake, from the viewpoint of the severity, those known in pulmonary tuberculosis, which shows a continuous decline. The early detection of both diseases, which may prevent their association, complications or reciprocal aggravation, represent an imperative task.
