[First alarm symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis in Upper-Volta [author's transl)].

The two more significant symptoms are: cough of long duration and lost of weight. They strongly indicate a control of spupum which proved to be in these conditions and in developping countries the more effective and less expensive way of detection.
