Tuberculosis is an old scourge revisited. The recent increase in tuberculosis is worrying and is not entirely linked to the increase in AIDS. Although corticosteroid therapy has been one of the great therapeutic advances in the history of medicine, it has been recognized for decades that corticosteroid therapy given to patients with untreated or unrecognized tuberculosis causes overwhelming illness and death. Eleanor Roosevelt died of undiagnosed miliary tuberculosis while being treated with steroids for what was thought to be sarcoidosis. Therefore, it is easy to understand the reluctance to use steroids as an adjunct treatment for tuberculosis when steroids have such a profound effect on untreated tuberculosis.
