[X-ray characteristics of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis].

The X-ray pattern of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis is considered in terms of examination findings in 98 patients. Under the present-day conditions, the X-ray pattern of disseminated tuberculosis is more commonly characterized by a combination of focal shadows of varying diameters with a prevalence of foci of this or that size. Symmetrical areas of infiltration (14.3%) and relatively symmetrical systems of decay cavities (6%) were a major abnormal shadow. A total of 76% had a destructive process. There was a predominance of generalized processes with medium and large cavities.
