DEPENDENCE OF EFFICACY OF THE INTENSIVE PHASE OF ANTITUBERCULOSIS THERAPY PATIENTS WITH INFILTRATIVE PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

Abstract

Possibility of prospective estimation of the course of the firstly identified, untreated infiltrative tuberculosis was studied on the basis of the characteristics of systemic inflammatory response and massive growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MMT). The latter and results of three months antituberculosis therapy of 66 patients were used as the grouping factor in systemic analysis. It is concluded that on basis of characteristics of O2-dependat bactericide function of mononuclears and neutrophils prognostic efficacy is possible in 81% of cases, while that inclusion of data of MMT in number of the serum characteristics - such as haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, albumin and elastase increase the prognosis efficacy up to 100%.
