Of these, pneumonia and bronchopneumonia occupy the first place, and their incidence is higher than that observed at sea-level. Among infectious diseases, tuberculosis occupies the first place. The findings also show that at high altitudes intestinal obstruction by volvulus is more frequent in adults than at sea-level Another significant finding was the frequency in adults of vascular lesions of the central nervous system, the rate of which was higher than that observed at sea-level.
