AB - HEMORRHAG E WITH SUDDEN DEATH IN TRACHEO­ BRONCHIAL LYMPH NODE TUBERCULOSIS IN ADULTS* H. A. CALLIS U. S. Veterans' Hospital, Tuskegee, Alabama Current medical literature emphasizes the importance of tracheo-bronchial lymph node tuberculosis in adults. Many are convinced that the problem of pulmonary tuberculosis in adults arises largely from the extension of the disease to the lungs and pleurae from some focus in the nodes at the hilus. The autopsy and the roentgenogram have taught us how frequently these nodes in adults are infected with tuberculosis without the production of the disease. It is recognized that tuberculous disease in children is essentially of this type. Chandler and Preston pointed out tha t the great frequency of tuberculosis of the mediastinal nodes "must be accepted as an established fact, for in many series of autopsies performed on tuberculous children, the bron­ chial glands are affected in nearly a hundred per cent, of the cases, the tuberculous disease here being commoner than in any other part. " Tuberculosis of the tracheo-bronchial lymph nodes is more difficult of clinical demonstration in adults than in children, be­ cause of the absence of reliable physical signs. Nevertheless, Prat t and Bushnell declared that "only
