The subject is so vast that only the more common or important conditions will be discussed in relation to these agents. (The term "antibiotics" is used below instead of antibacterial agents far the sake of brevity).

In the majority of cases, the immediate results have been gratifying to physician and patient alike, but in such a disease as tuberculosis the final assessment of any form of treatment should rest more on the relapse rate than on their immediate results. This paper deals with 60 patients, all women, who started treatment during 1953 and 1954, and who have been followed up to the end of 1961. They are all women as they happen to belong to a hospital division.

As the subject is so extensive the account itself must be "dwarfed". Dwarfism is defined as a stunting of skeletal growth and as such does not include failure of sexual development which is termed infantilism. However in clinical practice it is unusual to have to distinguish between the two as they frequently occur together.

If it is more common, why is it so common? These questions call for an early answer because Diabetes Mellitus appears to be increasing in the Maltese Islands. This increase however does not appear to affect the young. Diabetes in the young does not appear to be more common in the Maltese Islands than elsewhere.
