[Clinical classification of extrapulmonary tuberculosis].

ABSTRACT

The authors propose a clinical classification of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which is based on the standard reporting signs. They give the definitions of classification criteria established in any locations of tuberculous infection etiology (tuberculosis, BCG infection, tuberculoallergic lesions), the extent and activity of a process with regard to clinical and morphological stages; bacterial isolation with consideration of the drug resistance of Mycobacteria; the nature of complications and sequels, etc. The characterization of local lesion includes the determination of organ-dependent clinical forms of tuberculosis; the type and form of complication; residual and sequels.
