ABSTRACT
The paper analyzes the treatment made in 110 children with tuberculosis and non-specific lung diseases (NSLD) and in 52 control children without concurrent tuberculous pathology in sanatoria and health resorts. Evolving local tuberculosis was observed in 11.9% of the children with concurrent diseases and infection and an exacerbation of tuberculous process was seen in 26.5%. Failures in the treatment are accounted for not only by the aggravating impact of NSLD, but by physicians' poor attention to comorbidity.
