[Tuberculosis mortality in the megapolis].
1097 lethal cases of tuberculosis were analysed by 3 groups: Moscow citizens registered or not registered in the tuberculosis dispensaries (83%) and Moscow migrants (37%). Tuberculosis was diagnosed post mortem in 18%. Clinicoanatomical forms of tuberculosis were gravest in patients not observed in the dispensaries (disseminated tuberculosis, tuberculous pneumonia, generalized hematogenic tuberculosis--80.3%, fibrocavernous tuberculosis--18.9%). The main cause of this situation is poor economical situation and non-controlled migration.
