КОЖНАЯ ПРОБА С ДИАСКИНТЕСТОМ В ДИАГНОСТИКЕ ТУБЕРКУЛЕЗНОГО ЭКССУДАТИВНОГО ПЛЕВРИТА

Two hundred and six patients aged 18-86 years with pleural effusions of varying etiology and a control group of 21 healthy volunteers were examined to evaluate the efficacy of immunological intradermal test with diaskintest to diagnose tuberculous pleurisy. The diagnosis of the latter was verified by microbiological and histological methods in 100% of the patients. Diaskintest was found to be sufficiently high (78.38% in nontuberculous pleural diseases and 80.95% in healthy individuals), which can recommend its use in the comprehensive examination of patients with pleural effusions of unclear etiology.
