- Abstract
With four cases the authors are demonstrating radiographic findings showing that pulmonary tuberculosis has changed its pattern in the recent period. The reasons are analyzed by reviewing literature. Also in " nontypical " roentgenograms tuberculosis must be remembered. Even in future the x-ray picture will remain an important part of finding and identifying this disease, but bacteriological examinations by smear and culture are the essential parts of diagnosis. In cases of x-ray pictures apparently noncharacteristic intensive examinations by bronchological methods or percutaneous needle biopsy may become necessary.
