To study the present status of TB in a general hospital, we reviewed the records of 186 patients with TB at the Saga Medical School Hospital. Ninety-two patients (49.5%) had extrapulmonary tuberculosis and 59 patients (31.7%) had complicated severe diseases. The variety of TB lesions and underlying diseases often caused diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis. In fact, 16 cases were not identified to be TB until after death. The TB prevalence was significantly high in malignant disease, diabetes mellitus, collagen disease and chronic renal failure among the total number of patients discharged. Twenty-one patients developed TB while on an intensive therapy for underlying diseases. Unfortunately, 22 patients with TB died in our hospital. These findings suggest that special care must be taken to prevent TB in a general hospital. We emphasize that early diagnosis of TB depends on the suspicion of this infection on the part of the physician.
