Pulmonale en extrapulmonale vormen van tuberculose; klinische ervaringen in de tachtiger jaren

- In the period 1980-1984, 85 patients with tuberculosis were seen at Leyden University Hospital. In this retrospective study clinical data of 76 patients with pulmonary, extrapulmonary, miliary and disseminated tuberculosis are presented. 43 patients suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis. Three patients suffered from miliary tuberculosis and three patients from disseminated tuberculosis. Eight patients suffered from pleuritis tuberculosa, of whom three also suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis.

The heterogeneity and often rather non-specific, sometimes surprising clinical aspects of tuberculosis are highlighted by a variety of clinical case histories.
