Case records of 37 patients with tuberculosis were analysed, out of 4 000 patients admitted to our department of internal medicine over a period of four years. The most common localisations are still pulmonary, but these are often atypical. Lymph node involvement is found in immigrants. More exceptional localisations (liver . . .) are reported. Tuberculosis has not yet become obsolete.
