Upon examining the presence of bronchial tuberculosis (from the trachea to the segmental bronchi), laryngeal tuberculosis and intestinal tuberculosis on 131 fatal cases of tuberculosis, those cases absent of the above mentioned three types of tuberculosi, were only but 6.9 %, while, those cases found with more than 2 types of the above tuberculosis were 80.9 % and those found to have all of the three types of tuberculosis were 56.5 %. The frequency of the appearance of those three types of tuberculosis decreased in the order of intestinal tuberculosis, tracheobronchial tuberculosis and laryngeal tuberculosis. Being anatomically located nearby, laryngeal tuberculosis frequently complicated with tracheobronchial tuberculosis, but what was most frequent to occure independently was the intestinal tuberculosis.
