title: [Analysis of the clinical course of occupational pulmonary tuberculosis in medical personnel of the Western Pomerania macroregion 1978-1987].
abstract: An analysis of the clinical course of pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed in medical personal of the Western Pomeranian macroregion in the years 1978-1987 was carried out. Most often nurses develop this disease followed by technicians and doctors. 43% of this population did not have constant contact with active tuberculosis. Symptoms led to a diagnosis in 40% of the cases. In 27 patients radiological changes involved less than two pulmonary fields. In 17 cases a three drug regimen was instituted. The average hospitalization period was lower in these cases than in other treated in this region. Also the incidence rates of at risk medical personal were lower than overal incidence rates.
