[Present clinical appearances of tuberculosis in hospital practive: their diagnostic difficulties (author's transl)].

Even if tuberculosis has become now rare in France, the frequency of new cases in general hospital practice remains 1,4% of incomers. More than 50% of man and 80% of women attacked with tuberculosis are 60 years old or more. Pulmonary tuberculosis represents 60% of these cases but other localizations are various and multifocal in 22,8% of cases. Two points are emphasized: the difficulties of the diagnosis in some specially misleading cases and the fatal prognosis of 8,5% of cases.
