title: [Case distribution in a pneumonologic practice].
abstract: Among the diseases seen in the lung specialist's office, affectations of the upper (32.8% and lower (49.6%) airways are by far and away the most common. The allergic forms predominate, probably on account of the high prevalence of pollen allergy. Internistic diseases account for 12.8%, and disorders from the fields of paediatrics, ENT medicine and dermatology (3.5% urticaria) also make a non-inconsiderable contribution. Diseases of the lungs are not very common, but are highly multifarious. In addition to the above-mentioned disorders, paediatric and geriatric problems are quite common: children up to the age of 15 years account for about 20%, and patients older than 60 years for 10% of the total number of patients.
