title: [Thanatogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis based on statistics from tuberculosis hospitals in Moscow].
abstract: Thanatogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis has been studied on autopsy material gained in tuberculosis hospitals of Moscow from 1972 to 1992. The leading cause of lethal outcomes was progressive fibrous-cavernous tuberculosis (71.6% in 1992). Disseminated tuberculosis mortality rose two-fold (14.2% in 1992). Death rate for infiltrative tuberculosis reaches now 5.56%. Tuberculous patients die of the progressive disease in 54.94%, of respiratory distress and cardiac insufficiency in 32.72%. Progressive tuberculosis proved to combine with nontuberculous diseases in 71.87% of the cases.
