Lymphocyte stimulation test in the diagnostics of adverse reactions to antituberculouse line 1 and 2 drugs.

Adverse drug reactions to anti-TB drugs (ADR) are found in 6-20% of patients and have various clinical manifestations and are detected in the lymphocyte stimulation test (LST), recorded by the incorporation on H3 thymidine, but nowadays it has significant limitations. We used LST with WST-1 reagent to detect ADR to the main 1-st and 2-nd line antituberculosis drugs in 11 tuberculosis patients who had ADR (6 - hepatotoxic reaction, 3 - blood eosinophilia and 2 - with joint pain syndrome). 6 people with tuberculosis contacts made up the control group.
