title: [Analysis of tuberculosis mortality in Armenia].
abstract: The outpatient and patient histories were analyzed in 198 dead patients with tuberculosis. Particular concern is caused by an increase in mortality due to tuberculosis within a month after its detection. Clinically, there are predominant patients with progressive destructive forms of the disease. A total of 86.4% of the patients died directly from tuberculosis and its complications, the remaining (16.6%) patients died from other non-tuberculous diseases. The main cause of death from tuberculosis was its progression (50.1%), cardiopulmonary failure (34.3%), pulmonary hemorrhage (9%). A combination of several causes of death was noted in 33.1% of the patients who died from generalized tuberculosis.
