[Analysis of tuberculosis mortality in a general hospital of a large city]. / Analiz sluchaev smerti ot tuberkuleza v mnogoprofil'noi bol'nitse megapolisa.

In thanatogenesis of tuberculosis in emergency cases admitted to general hospitals in 1998-2000 predominated acute destructive prigressive forms which are most unfavourable epidemiologically. At autopsies tuberculosis is encountered 3 times more frequently. The diagnosis of tuberculosis is missed because of critical condition of the patients and their short stay in hospital due to early lethal outcome which doesn't allow adequate examination for tuberculosis.
