title: [The incidence of chronic respiratory diseases in Hunedoara County and the cases of disease hospitalized in the Pneumophthisiology Department of Deva Hospital].
abstract: The structure of the incidence of chronic respiratory diseases is analysed within the district of Hunedoara for the last two decennia (1970-1991), and the low percentage of pulmonary tuberculosis as compared with the other respiratory diseases (8.75% for the last five years) is emphasized. A comparison is performed between the figures of Tb and of non-Tb disease cases hospitalized in the Pneumophysiology Department, District Hospital, Deva (27.6% non-Tb diseases) from 1987 to 1991. Attention is drawn to the obligation of pneumophysiologists to take over the medical assistance and follow up of non-Tb respiratory diseases, as a result of the Ministry of Health legislation on "pneumophysiology" (a specialty replacing the old "physiology").
