Based on seventeen cases of upper digestive and respiratory tract tuberculosis, the authors review the different localizations of the disease. The mean age of the patients is 34 years old. The diagnostic is based on bacteriological and especially histological examination. The prognostic of the affection is excellent if tuberculosis chemotherapy is used for a minimum of 9 months.
