Four hundred and forty-five patients diagnosed of active thoracic or extrathoracic tuberculosis during a 6 year period were retrospectively reviewed. An increase in the rate of cases was found through the surveyed period. Less than 20% of patients were over 60 years of age at the time of diagnosis. Although the most common localizations were pulmonary and pleural, the disease was exclusively extrathoracic in one fifth of patients. Ten patients died of tuberculosis; 9.6% of patients had untoward side effects of tuberculostatic drugs and 14% did not comply with the scheduled follow up.
回顾性分析了在6年期间诊断为活动性胸内或胸外结核病的445例患者。在整个调查期间发现病例数有所增加。诊断时年龄超过60岁的患者不到20%。虽然最常见的病变部位是肺部和胸膜，但五分之一的患者疾病仅累及胸外。10例患者死于结核病；9.6%的患者出现了抗结核药物的不良反应，14%的患者未按计划进行随访。
