N2  - The frequency of diseases of the airways and lungs was examined in a forensic autopsy material of 441 alcoholics, who were compared with 255 controls. Lobar pneumonia was seen only in alcoholics, emphasizing alcohol abuse as a predisposing factor for this infection. Tuberculosis was more frequent in alcoholics, while there were no major differences in the occurrence of chronic lung diseases.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
