The incidence of hypercalcemia among unselected patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis was investigated, retrospectively, during a ten-year period. Among 67 patients, the mean serum calcium concentration on admission was significantly raised compared to healthy controls (2.51 ± 0.16 (SD) vs 2.43 ± 0.07 mmol/l; p&lt;0.001) and 25% of the patients had hypercalcemia. After one year of successful tuberculostatic treatment the serum calcium values had normalized.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences}, author={Lind L. and Ljunghall S.}, year={1990}, month={Sep.}, pages={157-160} }
