Abstrakt: Analyzing the duration and efficiency of treatment of 95 inpatients with first detected pulmonary tuberculosis indicated that the mean hospital stay of patients without and with decay was 205 and 291 days, respectively. Medical and social aspects should be considered while defining indications and hospital stay periods in patients with tuberculosis. Long-term hospitalization of the patients is justifiable only in complicated tuberculosis and special circumstances which require direct continuous follow-up.
