Clinical manifestation of radiation-exposed tuberculosis when uranium production

Present study was performed in Krasnokamensk city. We conducted retrospective study of 34 incident cases of tuberculosis (TB) among employees of the Priargunsky Industrial Mining and Chemical Union exposed to radiation (uranium production and processing). The comparison group included 47 TB patients...
