[Experience in organizing ambulatory control of patients with sarcoidosis in Moscow].

Dispensary record group VIII for patients with sarcoidosis was introduced in Moscow in 1994 and a center based on the Moscow Research Production Center?? was set up to diagnose and treat such patients. In addition to advisory work, the sarcoidosis center performs organizational and methodological functions. A scheme of subgroup (A, B, and C) distribution of Group III patients by the activity and pattern of sarcoidosis has been developed to have unique follow-up methods.

[Long-term follow-up of newly diagnosed patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis].

[Opportunities for the evaluation of the secondary reaction of antituberculosis drugs by several indicators, determined in the blood of patients with tuberculosis of the lungs].

Some bioenergetic patterns were studied in blood and blood plasma of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis as well as--in rats after long-term daily administration of rifampycin and isoniazid at therapeutic doses. A series of bioenergetic patterns, estimated simultaneously, enabled to detect the side reactions caused by chemotherapy before occurrence of clinical symptoms. Correlation was analysed between these patterns and the routine biochemical tests used for evaluation of the drug side effects.
