title: [Clinical aspects of pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The low incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis has led to a decrease of doctors expertise in this field. This review deals with clinical aspects of the disease. This article does not refer to the problem of simultaneous infection with tuberculosis and HIV. Pathogenesis, symptoms and diagnosis are discussed. A classification of intrathoracal manifestations of the disease with respect to clinical, radiologic and pathogenetic criteria is raised. To facilitate dealing with a certain case, a couple of questions are formulated and pragmatic answers are given. Risk-groups are specially emphasized to attract attention to the possibility of specific disease.
