[Fibrocavernous pulmonary tuberculosis in the Sverdlovsk Region].
Among new cases of fibrocavernous pulmonary tuberculosis and those who have died from it, the proportion of females and subjects with postmortem diagnosis increases and that of prisoners and the accused decreases. The institutions of confinement do not greatly affect the general regional morbidity and mortality due to fibrocavernous pulmonary tuberculosis. The new cases of fibrocavernous pulmonaary tuberculosis and those had died from it were mainly males aged 45 years or older who had a very low social status, lived in large towns and died outside a hospital, which substantiated forensic medical autopsy. Most of them had not consulted a doctor or long followed up for tuberculosis. This led to the fact that postmortem diagnosis was made in 62.6% of the cases.
