The study aimed to increase the efficacy of the newly diagnosed destructive lung tuberculosis with elimination of bacilli, using the collapsotherapeutic and surgical methods combined with intensive chemotherapy. 334 patients were diagnosed with lung tuberculosis in 2009 in Pensa region. Different methods of collapsotherapeutic and/or surgery were used in 255 (76.4%) patients. The comparative analysis of treatment results with patients, diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2006 and 2007 years, before the introduction of the new treatment modality, showed almost two-fold increase of the efficacy and 3-fold decrease of mortality rate.
