Undiagnosed active tuberculosis in a medicolegal autopsy material
Scandinavian Journal of Respiratory Diseases
|August 1, 1977
Abstract:
A review of a mediocolegal autopsy material comprising 6,283 cases revealed a very low incidence of unrecognized active tuberculosis, namely 0.05%. The incidence appears to be lower than among non-forensic autopsies. The three cases showed uniform characteristics, being middle-aged men who could be classified as destitute.
