The authors present a study involving 103 cases of death during active tuberculosis and 23 cases of death as a result of complications related to sequelae of tuberculosis recorded in the Bas-Rhin region in 1975 and 1976. Whilst amongst these 103 deaths, the majority concerned elderly individuals, there were nevertheless 20% of deaths due to tuberculosis below the age of 55. The majority of these tuberculosis sufferers had advanced pulmonary lesions where specific therapy had not had time to act. A certain number of deaths could have been avoided, even in the elderly subjects. Of the 23 cases of death due to sequelae, 2/3 died of respiratory failure and 1/5 of secondary aspergillus infection, illustrating the grave prognosis in certain sequelae of tuberculosis.
作者呈现了一项研究，该研究涉及1975年和1976年在巴斯-莱茵地区记录的103例活动性肺结核死亡病例以及23例因肺结核后遗症相关并发症导致的死亡病例。在这103例死亡病例中，大多数是老年人，但仍有20%的肺结核死亡病例发生在55岁以下。这些肺结核患者大多数有晚期肺部病变，特异性治疗来不及发挥作用。即使是老年患者，也有一定数量的死亡本可避免。在23例因后遗症导致的死亡病例中，三分之二死于呼吸衰竭，五分之一死于继发性曲霉菌感染，这说明了肺结核某些后遗症的严重预后。
