[Symptomatology of tuberculosis].
First described long before the beginning of our era, the clinical presentation of tuberculosis has not really changed much over the course of ages. Although early diagnosis and the introduction of bacteriocidal antibiotics have led to a decline in the most severe forms, at least in developed countries, the general and functional symptomatology, characteristic of chronic tuberculosis, remains unchanged in non-immunodeficient patients. Inversely, in patients with and immunodeficiency syndrome, the distribution and clinical course of the fundamental signs and symptoms have undergone a considerable modification as a result of intercurrent clinical signs of other opportunistic diseases involving both the lung and extrapulmonary organs.
