title: [The course of pulmonary tuberculosis in adolescents].
abstract: The authors summarize data obtained at the examinations of 178 tuberculous adolescents aged 15-17. Primary forms of the disease were diagnosed in 52% of new-onset cases, while infiltrative tuberculosis prevailed among secondary forms (48%). The tuberculosis was detected at prophylactic fluorography in 63.5% of the examinees. Late disease diagnosis was mostly consequent to poor symptoms of tuberculosis.
