[Perforation of gastroduodenal ulcers and pulmonary tuberculosis]

17 observations of the perforation of gastroduodenal ulcer in pulmonary tuberculosis cases are analysed. Most of the patients were males, aged over 50, with protracted chronic forms of tuberculosis. In all cases the suturing of perforation was carried out. 9 patients died. The conclusion has been drawn that a massive antibacterial therapy, which should be carried out in specialized medical institutions, is imperiable.
