    Abstract:
    The outpatient cards and case histories of 456 patients with tuberculosis detected in Samara in the period from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2003 were examined. Tuberculosis was identified in 58.3% of the patients when they were asking for medical aid; among them 54.2% were treated at general hospital where caseous pneumonia, disseminated tuberculosis, and tuberculous pleurisy were more frequently diagnosed. The unemployed able-bodied persons amounted to 43% of the detected patients with tuberculosis, of whom 81% being identified on recourse to a doctor. Primary drug resistance does not depend on the procedure of tuberculosis detection. Early detection and the initiation of treatment will improve a clinical prognosis in patients with new-onset tuberculosis.
