title: [Diagnostic and treatment policy errors in caseous pneumonia].
abstract: Analysis of diagnostic and treatment policy in 314 patients with caseous pneumonia has identified a complex of factors that considerably affect the outcome of the disease. The most significant diagnostic errors are a considerable delay of out- and inpatient diagnosis, untimely determination of caseous pneumonia as a form of tuberculosis under the conditions of tuberculosis institutions. Drug treatment errors involve the wrong determination of the goal of treatment to hopefully eliminate destructions, as well as inadequate etiopathogenetic therapy. The points are long-term preparation for surgical treatment and a low proportion of caseous pneumonia patients operated on. Strategic and tactical errors have been ascertained to be of great importance in defining a place of surgical treatment in the general plan of treatment for patients with caseous pneumonia.
