[The number of chronic patients contributing to total tuberculosis morbidity in the area of the city of Belgrade].
During four years (from 1984-1987) a group of 94 patients with chronic pulmonary tuberculosis were investigated. Mean age of patients was 51 years-the youngest was 27 and the oldest 78. Mean time of disease was 5.4 years. They made 4.8% of all bacteriologically positive nonchronic patients. One third of them were resistant to one, 18% on two, 22% on three and 10% on all known antituberculosis drugs. It is very interesting that 19 patients or 20% were sensitive to all known antituberculosis drugs but tuberculosis still persisted.
