Fifty-five patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis and 45 with chronic fibrocavernous pulmonary tuberculosis were interviewed using a specially developed questionnaire. Interrelated vital and social fears were revealed. A tuberculosis patient’s fears may be used as a target for treatment motivation.
