[A microepidemic of severe tuberculosis in a hospital for chronic neuropsychiatric patients].
Details and considerations on a microepidemic of severe tuberculosis occurring in a hospital for chronic neuro-psychic patients are presented. This episode presents a practical interest by the knowledge of the circumstances of occurrence and progression, clinical-epidemiological features, associated favouring factors (immunodeficiency, absence of a sustained program for tuberculosis investigation) and biologic prophylaxis by BCG vaccinations and revaccinations. Several measures for avoiding such epidemics and, in prospect, of AIDS in the institutions at high risk are discussed.
