title: [An evaluation of the possibilities for a paraclinical study in outpatient pneumophthisiology care and proposals for its improvement].
abstract: An attempt was made to make an estimation of equipment and accessibility of pneumophthisiology ambulatory units for diagnosis and treatment of patients newly discovered and the already registered ones. A number of 172 (97% of total number) pneumophthisiology units have been taken into the study showing a certain progress regarding the lb diagnosis. As for other chronic lung diseases, the specific equipment is not available in all units: 73 have not spirometer, bronchoscopy is performed in other places, a.s.o. The situation requires urgent providing the pneumophthisiology network units with new techniques equipment for diagnosis and replacing the present one which is outdated and worn-out.
