To document the changing clinical spectrum of tuberculosis among inpatients, 498 consecutive admissions to the tuberculosis unit of West Park Hospital, Toronto between January 1977 and March 1980 were reviewed. The results were compared with those of a study at this hospital two decades earlier. The recent patients were older, had a shorter stay in hospital, were more often alcoholic and more often had nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease.
为记录住院患者中结核病不断变化的临床特征，我们回顾了1977年1月至1980年3月期间多伦多西部公园医院结核病科连续收治的498例患者。并将结果与该医院20年前的一项研究结果进行了比较。近期的患者年龄更大，住院时间更短，酗酒情况更常见，非结核分枝杆菌肺病也更常见。
