    Summary

    Older tuberculosis patients, especially those with complications, present significant treatment challenges. Advances in chemotherapy offer faster treatment and shorter hospital stays for many.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Geriatrics

    Context:

    • Analysis of 377 primarily treated tuberculosis cases from 1987.
    • Comparison with national sanatoria data from 1976 and 1980.
    • Inclusion of 21 deceased cases for comprehensive investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate trends in tuberculosis treatment and patient demographics.
    • To identify challenges in treating tuberculosis, particularly in older adults.
    • To assess the impact of new chemotherapy regimens on treatment duration and outcomes.

    Summary:

    • 29% of patients were over 60 years old.
    • Intensive regimens (isoniazid and rifampicin) were widely adopted (over 70%).
    • Treatment and admission durations have significantly decreased since 1980.
    • Deceased patients were predominantly elderly with comorbidities like diabetes, cancer, and heart failure.
    • Radiographic presentation of tuberculosis remained consistent, with good treatment response.

    Impact:

    • Older patients with comorbidities represent the most challenging group for current tuberculosis treatment.
    • Shorter chemotherapy and admission durations are notable trends.
    • Findings highlight the need for tailored treatment strategies for elderly tuberculosis patients.
