Abstract:
The analysis of 61 erroneous admissions to a tuberculous hospital of cancer cases proves that tuberculous hospitals have to make annually a lot of differential diagnoses to distinguish cancer from tuberculosis. Lung cancer is registered more frequently in males aged from 50 to 70, smokers, with a history of bronchopulmonary inflammation. 36.07% of lung cancer patients had also various forms of intrathoracic tuberculosis. To confirm the diagnosis, invasive diagnostic techniques, primarily tracheobronchoscopy, should be employed as early as possible. When done outpatient, tracheobronchoscopy promotes earlier reference of patients to oncologist decreasing the number of improper hospitalizations to tuberculous hospitals.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
