title: [Bacteriologically unconfirmed pulmonary tuberculosis: minimal changes problem].
abstract: The correct diagnosis in patients with small radiographic changes sputum smear-negative is usually time consuming and highly problematic.

Patients with small radiographic changes were evaluated in epidemic terms and different kinds of therapeutic regimens were assessed.
