[Proceedings: Changes in the disease pattern of pulmonary tuberculosis].
Some 100 cases of active tuberculosis of the lung from each of the years 1953, 1963 and 1973 were studied to determine changes in the disease pattern. Chronologically a reduction in the distribution of multisegmental lesions and a diminution of the number of cavities was observed, with a marked tendency towards segments 1, 2 and 6. The number of new patients diminished and that of reactivated cases increased. Particularly noticeable was the observation of more highly productive tuberculoses.
