Kekkaku : [Tuberculosis]
-
The aim of this study was to investigate the current status of doctor's delay in diagnosing endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) and to elucidate the risk factors contributing to the delay. ⋯ These findings demonstrate that long doctor's delays in diagnosing EBTB remain an issue. The clinical features of EBTB with long doctor's delays were confirmed to be quite different from those of pulmonary tuberculosis.
