Abstract
Reactivation of tuberculosis in old age was previously reported. These findings were confirmed and another 5 examples were presented. Lack of adequate chemotherapy during the 1st clinical episode may be an important factor in reactivation, especially in debilitated patients.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
