Коррекция бронхообструктивного синдрома у больных туберкулезом легких

Tthe epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in Russia remains a challenge. High level of morbidity is conditioned by migration process and inadequate monitoring of new people coming from other regions and patients from the units of the Main Directorate of Administrating Punishment (GUIN) (1, 2). Nonspecific lung diseases significantly aggravate the course of lung tuberculosis. Chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease accompanied by bronchial obstruction syndrome are most frequently associated with pulmonary tuberculosis [4]. Bronchial obstruction syndrome occurs in all forms of pulmonary tuberculosis; detection frequency depends on the duration of the specific process and the severity of residual changes in the lungs [6].
