    Abstract:
    Between years 1972 and 1991 1500 autopsies were done in the Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases in Warsaw. Active tuberculosis was found in 119 cases (7.9%). 56 patients died of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was not diagnosed during life in 37% of all cases and in 39% of that in whom it was the cause of death. Tuberculosis was undiagnosed significantly more often in the years 1982-1991 than in years 1972-1981. Tuberculosis was restricted to the lungs in 60.5% of cases, was found in the lungs and in the extrapulmonary sites in 37.8% and only outside lungs in 1.7%. This is in contrast with official polish statistics. The extrapulmonary tuberculosis was registered in only 4% of cases.
