A Comparison of Clinical and Radiographic Signs of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease, Destructive Drug-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis and a Combination of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Pulmonary Disease and Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

A misdiagnosis of isolated pulmonary tuberculosis (pTB) is highly likely when a patient has nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTMPD) or a combination of nontuberculous mycobacterium pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis. Frequently, bacterial excretion is absent or only Mycobacteria tuberculosis (MBT) is found. This often results in an incorrect diagnosis and subsequent misinformed treatment regimes.

Surgical Treatment of Cavernous and Fibrous-Cavernous TB in Children.

Introduction: Treatment of cavernous and fibrous cavernous tuberculosis in children, especially in the presence of multiple drug resistance-tuberculosis or extremely drug resistance-tuberculosis, presents a major challenge.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed results of treatment of 65 patients (mean age 14.8 + 2.

Surgical Treatment of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease and a Combination of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Pulmonary Disease and Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Objectives: Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTMPD) is an important health system problem worldwide. Surgical treatment experience is limited, and the safety of such operations is still unclarified. Therefore, improving our knowledge of NTMPD is important.

[Surgical treatment of bronchopleural complications after lung resection and pleurectomy in patients with tuberculosis].

Objective: To increase an efficiency of surgical treatment of bronchopleural complications after lung resections and pleurectomies through the development of modern indications, treatment strategies, techniques and postoperative management.

Material And Methods: We analyzed data in 252 patients with bronchopleural complications after lung resections and pleurectomies. The study included patients who underwent treatment at the Central Research Institute of Tuberculosis for the period 2004-2010, Clinical Hospital of Phthisiopulmonology of the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University for the period 2011-2017 and Thoracic Center of the Republic of Ingushetia for the period 2015-2019.

[Surgical collapse in the treatment of single lung tuberculosis].

Objective: To improve the treatment of destructive tuberculosis of a single lung by using of collapse surgery.

Material And Methods: The authors analyzed an experience of collapse surgery for destructive tuberculosis of a single lung.

Results: Collapse surgery was effective in 77.
