title: [Specific features of detection of caseous pneumonia and its course in Samara].
abstract: A hundred and sixty-three cases of caseous pneumonia were analyzed in Samara. Males aged 35 to 60 years were most frequently ill with the pneumonia; the unemployed and those who had not undergone CC-fluorography for more than 2 years were more frequently ill. The lesion was more commonly bilateral, involving 3 lobes or more with multiple lung tissue destruction. Primary drug resistance was identified in 30.8% of cases. The classical onset of caseous pneumonia with well-defined clinical picture was observed in 75.5% of cases. The average time of diagnosis establishment was I month. One-year death was 34.6%. Progression into chronic forms creates a reservoir of tuberculous infection.
