- Abstract: Streptomycin is currently utilized to treat advanced tuberculosis in Korea. However, the usefulness of intravascular streptomycin is not fully understood. In this study, streptomycin was administered intravenously in 30 patients. Intravenous administration of streptomycin may be a useful route of administration without undesirable toxicities.
