Factors associated with pulmonary hypertension and long-term survival in bronchiectasis subjects.

abstract：:A survey was conducted in a metropolitan suburb to examine family clusters of pulmonary tuberculosis patients and related factors. Firstly, a descriptive study was done based on the review of tuberculosis registration cards over a 11-yr period. Of 1106 cases, 109 (9.9%) were found to occur in households which had alre...
