The authors studied functional characteristics of mononuclear leucocytes in patients with drug-sensitive and drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The study found decrease of the number of C3b- and Fcchi-receptorpositive monocytes and increase of their saturation activity in both categories of pulmonary tuberculosis before and after antituberculous therapy. The study revealed increase of interferons alpha and chi production and, at the same time, decrease of tumor necrosis factor alpha, which was more prominent in cases of drug-sensitive tuberculosis, and depression of interleukin 2 secretion, more prominent during chemotherapy in cases of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

- The study investigated the cytogenetic status of peripheral lymphocytes in 67 patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis, revealing signs of chromosomal disorganization before and 2 months into intensive chemotherapy.
- The disorganization was characterized by elevated cell levels and structural changes in chromosomes, with more severe effects noted in infiltrative and disseminated forms of tuberculosis compared to caseous pneumonia.
- Patients with infiltrative tuberculosis also showed reduced lymphocytic DNA repair activity, which normalized after completing chemotherapy.
