The department proved to be reliably suitable for the treatment of patients with bone and joint tuberculosis. They draw the attention to the significance of yearly 30 cases which show that the tuberculosis did not yet disappear from Hungary. The aim of the paper is to maintain the problem in the common medical consciousness.
