[Tanatogenesis in patients with caseous pneumonia in relation to sex].

The purpose of the present investigation was to study the composition of patients with caseous pneumonia (CP), its causes, and fetal outcomes in relation to sex. A hundred and ninety-eight patients, including 139 males and 59 females, were examined. There was a high proportion of socially dysadapted persons particularly among males.

[Specific features of the pattern and clinical manifestations of respiratory tuberculosis in new cases under the present-day conditions].

The study of clinical and X-ray manifestations of the disease in 270 patients has shown that the incidence of disseminated tuberculosis with its acute onset and marked clinical manifestations has greatly increased. It is difficult to make a diagnosis of recently more frequent tuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes in adults due to acute clinical manifestations resulting from nonspecific inflammation with frequent abscessing at the site of atelectasis in lobar and segmental bronchopulmonary lesions, due to late detection of meagre bacterial isolation, to frequent involvement sites in 3, 4, and 5 segments. Acute generalized disseminated tuberculosis generally follows obscure clinical manifestations from extrapulmonary inflammation in 2-4 months.
