By the sanatorium data, tuberculosis of bones and joints was shown to be more frequent in older persons. The treatment and rehabilitation of the patients were complicated by concomitant diseases. There was a certain relationship between the concomitant diseases and localization and severity of the tuberculosis process. Cardiovascular affections were the most frequent concomitant diseases. High therapeutic efficacy was defined by combined measures and sufficiently long-term treatment in specialized sanatoria.
