[Errors in the diagnosis of primary tuberculosis in adults].
Autopsy data have been collected for 250 patients who died of primary tuberculosis within 1947-1992. Lethal outcomes of primary tuberculosis of late have become less frequent and occurred at older age. Diagnostic errors, on the contrary, are made more frequently, especially in general hospitals. In particular, misdiagnosis is common in verification of tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes in patients over 30 years of age. Current tendency to hypodiagnosis of tuberculosis is attributed to its atypical course and pathomorphosis.
