Abstract

Goal of the study: to define specific manifestation of non-tuberculous diseases, due to which the patients were referred to a TB hospital.

Materials and methods: retrospective analysis of 230 case histories of those suffering from non-tuberculous diseases detected in TB hospital and 123 pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Clinical and X-ray manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis were compared to manifestations of the diseases most prevalent in the practice of a TB doctor – community acquired pneumonia, respiratory sarcoidosis, malicious tumors of the lungs.

Results. The similarity of clinical and X-ray manifestations, single positive microscopy for AFB result in over diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in those suffering from sarcoidosis, community-acquired pneumonia and malicious pulmonary diseases and it is the reason why these patients are referred to TB hospital.
