Popis: The causes of death were analyzed in 112 patients treated at the interregional tuberculosis hospital. Some peculiarities in the thanatogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis were revealed in penitentiaries: the deceased had more commonly infiltrative and disseminated tuberculosis than fibrocavernous, there was a high incidence of complications in 75% of dead persons who had exhaustion and cachexia that resulted in reduced defensive forces. The high (17%) pulmonary bleeding as a cause of death in three fourths of the those who died resulted from acute progressive tuberculosis.
