Many studies indicate the incidence of bronchial tuberculosis from 10% to 40%, taking into account the level of diagnostic measures to detect tuberculosis and the availability of endoscopic services. An important problem in the treatment of tuberculosis is psychological problems in patients, including those with drug-resistant tuberculosis. In phthisiology, attention is drawn to the widespread history of stress in patients with tuberculosis and the complexity of psychological rehabilitation against the background of treatment. In relation to such patients, it is advisable to use a comprehensive medical and psychological approach, including specialized care based on the developed models of psychological rehabilitation. A large number of studies show that among patients with tuberculosis of the trachea and bronchi, young women, non-smokers with a high level of education and income are about 2 times more likely. An important problem is also unstable compliance and low stress tolerance in patients with neurotic personality organization, prone to actualization of maladaptive stereotypes of responding to the difficulties of the treatment process. This clinical example demonstrates the high efficiency of complex treatment of the tuberculosis process, which included anti-tuberculosis therapy, inhalation therapy, surgical treatment and psychological correction. Despite the late diagnosis of the tuberculosis process, relief of intoxication syndrome, cessation of bacte excretion and improvement of the clinical condition were achieved by 2 months of treatment. This approach in the complex treatment of the tuberculosis process is extremely important and relevant to achieve high treatment results.","PeriodicalId":23748,"journal":{"name":"Vrach","volume":"187 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140462303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective. To substantiate surgical tactics in patients with residual post-tuberculosis lung changes. Materials and methods. The analysis of 1121 adult patients who underwent surgery from 2015 to 2021 for etiologically verified pulmonary TB and completed anti-tuberculosis therapy more than a year before the operation. Of these, 176 patients were divided into two comparable groups: the main group included 37 patients in whom non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTMB) DNA was found in the surgical material, the comparison group included 139 patients in whom NTMB was not found in the surgical material. All patients underwent a comprehensive microbiological and morphological examination of the surgical material. Results. In the comparison group, in the majority of operated patients with microbiological screening of surgical material, the etiological diagnosis was positive: the most informative method for both destructive forms of pulmonary TB and forms without destruction was the real-time PCR method: in 82.0% and 87.2% of positive results, respectively, and luminescent microscopy, which allowed to identify acid-resistant Mycobacteria in 67.2% of cases with destructive forms of TB and in 73.1% – without lung destruction In the comparison group, in 19 (13.2%) patients, no evidence of TB was obtained by any screening method, but morphologic examination of surgical material showed the presence of TB inflammation with high activity in 11 (58.0%) and moderate activity in 8 (42.0%) patients. In the main group species identification of NTMB in the surgical material was obtained in the majority of cases, both in forms without destruction of lung tissue and in destructive forms – in 72.2 and 63.3% of patients, respectively, slow-growing NTMB prevailing. Fast-growing NTMB were detected in isolated cases. Morphological examination of the surgical material in a group of patients with NTMB revealed structural changes in the lungs that affected the air parenchyma and/or small airways in areas of the lungs free from TB foci, which should be taken into account when planning surgical intervention.

In addition to standard clinical, functional and laboratory research methods, the severity of vascular inflammation was assessed in all examined patients with the determination of quantitative indicators of human platelet growth AA factor and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) by quantitative solid-phase enzyme immunoassay Results. In all patients with isolated COPD, regardless of the risk of developing the underlying disease, an increase in the level of platelet growth AA factor and TNFα was noted. The level of platelet growth AA factor and TNFα in patients with COPD, regardless of the risk of exacerbation, was correlated with the functional state of the lungs, clinical phenotype and severity of clinical manifestations of the disease.
