[Post-tuberculosis syndromes in a pneumology unit]

With reference to 156 patients with a post-tuberculous syndrome, admitted to a pneumology unit, the authors discuss the anatomoclinical aspects of the primary disease and morbid entities developing against the background of the sequelae. The circumstances in which chronic bronchitis develops and post-tuberculous bronchopulmonary suppuration, frequently encountered in the pathology secondary to stable tuberculosis are analyzed. The necessity of preventing potential unspecific diseases and insuring an optimal complex treatment is emphasized.
