[Intestinal perforation in tuberculosis].

For 5 years the authors observed isolated abdominal tuberculosis in 6 patients. Five of them who were urgently operated upon had perforations of the tuberculous ulcers of the intestine. A specific character of the inflammation was confirmed by histological investigations. Four patients are described in detail. One of them had six perforated tuberculous ulcers of the jejunum. All these patients died. Recommendations are given how to improve the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis and treat patients with this severe disease.

[Organization of fluorographic examinations of the population in large cities].

A 5-year experience with fluorographic examination of the population of Leningrad is described. The data show that it is untimely to prolong the intervals between check fluorographic examinations. Difficulties in forming the risk groups are also indicated. Ways for improving organization of fluorographic examinations by using the available reserves are defined. On the whole, the present arrangement of prophylactic fluorographic examinations is rather efficient in regard to early detection of many pulmonary diseases including tuberculosis and peripheral cancer of the lungs.

[Causes of formation of destructive tuberculosis of the lungs].

It was shown that irregular fluorographic examinations, undetected pathological processes on fluorograms and their erroneous interpretation were the causes of destructive tuberculosis of the lung. Early detection of tuberculosis was hampered by prior nonspecific diseases of the respiratory organs and underestimation of the process activity especially when chronic bronchopulmonary diseases were associated with residual signs of cured tuberculosis. Recommendations for prophylaxis of destructive tuberculosis of the lung are presented.
