[Differential diagnosis of infiltrative tuberculosis and pneumonia located in the the lower lobe].

Differential diagnosis was made in 2 groups of 85 patients with infiltrative tuberculosis and pneumonia. Clinical, laboratory and x-ray findings confirmed the value of standard examinations (anamnesis, complaints, physical and laboratory methods). Tuberculin diagnosis confirms the primary diagnosis only in case of hyperergic response to the Mantoux test with tuberculin PPD 2 TU.

[The effect of isoniazid on regional hemodynamics in the lesser circulation in patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis].

Along with the well-studied tuberculostatic effect, isoniazid has a strong impact on the pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. A single oral administration of a daily dose (0.6 g) of isoniazid makes it possible to normalize the pulmonary hemodynamics bringing about systolic blood pressure drop and an increase of the pulse and minute pulse blood flow.

[Characteristics of bacterial excretion in conio-tuberculosis of the lungs].

Bacteriological examination of sputum smears of 42 patients with anthracotic tuberculosis divided according to the activity of a tuberculous process into 2 groups was undertaken. To achieve the growth of L-forms, sputum inoculation was done on Shkolnikova's semiliquid culture medium. Phase contrast microscopic examination of the sputum smears was carried out at 280 X magnification.

[Characteristics of the clinical manifestations of inactive pulmonary coniotuberculosis].

Analysis of clinical development of nonactive coniotuberculosis in 167 patients showed that pneumoconiosis, complicated by tuberculosis, grew progressively worse as to its stage, form and incidence. Intoxication syndrome in such patients was of specific tuberculosis character and the above patients could be quite efficiently treated by antituberculosis preparations.
