Abstract
Goal of the study: to investigate the structure of patients referred with the suspicion of tuberculosis to the differential diagnostics department of TB dispensary.
Materials and methods. The analysis included investigation of medical documents of 990 patients admitted to the hospital in 2012-2014 with the suspicion of tuberculosis to the diagnostic department of TB dispensary.
Results. No active tuberculosis had been confirmed in 506 (51.1%) patients out of 990. Out of those patients 29.4% of cases had pneumonia or other inflammatory disease, in 18.9% – post-tuberculous changes, 12.7% – lung cancer, 6.5% – respiratory tuberculosis.
