  • Title: [The medico-legal evaluation of disability in tuberculosis].
    Author: Oberto G.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1984 Mar 17; 75(11):603-7. PubMed ID: 6709201.
    Abstract:
    The problem of invalidity statement comes out when disease causes a quantitatively and quantitatively verifiable irreversible alteration in the state of a subject in its functional aspects. That is, we must verify if and of what the pulmonary tubercular reliquates induced a reduced peripheral oxygen availability. For this reason, the damage valuation can't leave out of consideration of the at rest and under stress analysis of respiratory function. About invalidity judgement in subjects already affected by tuberculosis, we must repeat that there are some contraindications in heavy, mostly dusty, works doing, particularly when a pneumoconiosis combines with tuberculosis. At last, Author mentions the tables in force, indicating the civil invalidity valuation. At the present time, these tables are based on respiratory function damage.
