[Clinical and social characteristics of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis registered as follow-up group 2].

The paper analyzes the examination of 240 patients with alleviating pulmonary tuberculosis (follow-up group 2) and provides clinical and social characteristics of this group of patients who had poor social factors, such as a social behaviour, alcoholism, unemployment, etc. Ninety one patients had various concomitant visceral diseases. During treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, most patients developed profound residual changes. This all requires more thorough follow-up while performing seasonal drug regimens and other prophylactic measures in Group 2 patients.
