Abstract

Delay in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis resulted in the death of 2 patients from the disease, a fatal outcome for a further patient whose cause of death was not determined, and led to extensive lung destruction in 2 others. A plea is made for early investigation of patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis.
