[Recurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis: in- and outpatient data].
Diagnosis recrudescent pulmonary tuberculosis shows different flaws: on the one hand, the progression of early untreated tuberculosis can be mistaken for a recrudescence, on the other, changes are interpreted as a recrudescence if there is no clinical and X-ray evidence for the reactivation of the process. All cases of recrudescent tuberculosis should be reexamined by a medical commission, which allows the above errors to be avoided. If a patient with chronic alcoholism and mental disease has recrudescent tuberculosis, a narcologist and psychiatrist must participate in working out a comprehensive treatment policy.
