- Abstract:
- The history of a 63 yr. old woman with a serious form of Weber-Christian's disease is reported. During treatment with glucocorticosteriods and antibiotics bilateral condida pneumonitis developed, which ended fatally. A short review of Weber-Christian's disease is given, and the problems concerning its treatment are outlined. The systemic application of glucocorticosteroids in this disease should be reserved for the serious forms.
