[Pulmonary aspergillosis and its treatment].

The authors had 85 patients with various forms of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis under observation; 45 of them were treated by various types of operative interventions. Forty patients were given mycostats. The article describes the indications and contraindications for surgical treatment, the volume of the operative interventions, the postoperative complications and their management.

[Pathomorphology of pulmonary aspergillosis in tuberculosis patients based on according to resection material].

To investigate various manifestations of broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis and to ascertain its association with a previous disease there were carried out histotopographic, histological and mycological studies of specimens of the lung tissue resected in 37 patients in connection with aspergillomas of the lungs and broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis. The investigations showed that aspergillosis was one of the forms of dysbacteriosis in the human organism and could develop against the background of post-tuberculous, tuberculous and nonspecific changes. The development of aspergillosis following post-tuberculous changes should be considered as a second nonspecific disease pathogenetically associated with tuberculosis, but with an etiological factor ot its own.
