title: [Pulmonary tuberculosis as detected by different methods].
abstract: As a result of the study of clinico-roentgenologic pictures of 379 patients with newly-diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis, asymptomatic and undetectable development of the disease was found in 64.2% of the cases with non-destructive and in 35.0% with destructive processes. Besides, clinical symptoms of 36.1% of the patients were neglected. The above situation proves it necessary to conduct preventive fluorographic examinations of the chest at least once every 2 years. Their quality should be significantly improved, as many patients had fluorographic changes on the prior examination, which were missed or misinterpreted. The organization of early tuberculosis detection cannot be judged from the proportion of destructive processes in the pattern of tuberculosis morbidity.
