title: [Analysis of lethality in tuberculosis].
abstract: The analysis of tuberculosis lethal outcomes occurring in a large antituberculous hospital in 1990-1992 showed that: mean age of the dead made up 49.7 +/- 0.8 years, 70.9% of them did not work (46.3% were invalids due to tuberculosis). 32% of the deceased were observed by the specialist no longer than a year, 1/6 were dead within treatment month 1.68% of the above patients were admitted to the hospital in grave condition. Intensive chemotherapy for advanced destructive tuberculosis with bacterial discharge was given to the majority of the patients. 57.4% of the patients did not survive a month of hospital stay, 24.3% were dead within the first week in hospital. 84.6% of the lethal outcomes resulted from progression of pulmonary tuberculosis.
