Abstract

In order to evaluate the effect of B. C. G., we observed organ distribution of tuberculosis and the results were compared with the first report in 1970. We have studied 2,985 patients with tuberculosis diagnosed out of 193,514 patients seen at St. Paul’5 Hospital, Catholic Medical Collep-e, during the period of January, 1973 through August, 1977. 1) The rate of tuberculosis in this report is less( 1.54 % ) than first report (2.3% ) 2) The peak of morbidity was in second decade and the sex ratio was 60% in man and 40 % in female. 3) Pulmonary tuberculosis predominates all other forms with rate of 52.9 % (male:34.6%, female: 18.3 % ), which was decreased from 67.8% in fi.st report but the sex ratio were 2:1 in both studies. 4) Pulmonary tuberculous is combinéd with extrapulmonary tuberculosis was 18.6 % in this report comparing with 5.7 % in first repor t. There was no significant difference in prevalence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis compared between first and second report (26.5% in first and 28.5% ïn second report). 5) Rates of minimal tuberculosis were 36.1 % in this report and 26.6 % in first report. Rates of far advanced tuberculosis were 12.5% in this report and 23.1 % in first report. 6) Among extrapulmonary organs, the pleura was the most frequently combined with pulmonary tuberculosis. Rates of miliary tuberculosis combined with tuberculosis meningitis were 12.3% in this report and 5.5 % in first report. 7) There was no significant difference about the organ distribution in cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis between first and second report.
