title: [Tuberculosis and its sequelae as a cause of death of patients in a multi-profile hospital].
abstract: The intravital diagnosis was established only in 20 patients (19.2 percent) out of 104 persons who died from tuberculosis and its sequelae over the last 20 years at the general hospital. The diagnostic errors were mainly accounted for by the difficulties in the recognition of the acute and generalized patterns of tuberculosis, by grave condition of the patients admitted to the hospital, by predominance among the patients of elderly persons with a number of concomitant diseases, by inadequate examination of the patients (the lack of x-ray, bacteriological and instrumental studies) as well as by the lack of attention on the part of internists to the clinical manifestations of tuberculosis today.
