[The clinical picture of acute tuberculosis (author's transl)]. / Das klinische Bild bei Lungentuberkulose als Akuteinweisung in Wiener Krankenhäuser.

ABSTRACT

The clinical picture of acute tuberculosis infection is undergoing a change. The classic symptoms of pain in the chest and night sweats are giving way to general symptoms. In 50% of the cases the infection manifests itself as an acute disease. The observation that some cases of tuberculosis are not admitted to hospital until they are in a critical condition is ascribed to lack of "tuberculosis awareness".
