    Abstract:
    144 patients with bacteriologically positive results were analysed out of 258 relapses of pulmonary tuberculosis within one year (1979/80) to find the causes which are favouring relapses. It has been found that in 28% an inadequate chemotherapy, in 16% uncontrolled use of drugs, and in 13% of cases uncooperative attitude of patients were supposed causes of relapse. Causes of relapse could not be established in 23% of patients. Silicosis and chronic alcoholism were observed in 22% of patients with relapse.
