    • Abstract:
      The clinical characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis and its detection methods were studied in patients with hyperergic (Group 1, n = 84) and another (Group 2, n = 75) tuberculin susceptibility. The groups were identical in clinical, X-ray, and laboratory characteristics. The major clinical forms were infiltrative (35.2%) and thoracic lymphatic tuberculosis (34%). Mass tuberculin diagnosis revealed 64.7% of children with hyperergic susceptibility, which confirms the topicality of this technique in the early detection of tuberculosis in children. This technique was realized in adolescents with hyperergic susceptibility to a lesser degree (12.1%). Overall, 55.9% of patients with hyperergic tuberculin susceptibility (mainly adolescents) were identified by X-ray studies performed routinely and if there were clinical indications. In these cases, individual tuberculin diagnosis was used when X-ray changes were found.
