title: [Functional and morphological basis for surgical treatment of tuberculous empyemas in children and adolescents].
abstract: The experience of surgery of tuberculous empyemas in 67 children and juveniles aged 5 to 18 shows significantly better indices of pulmonary ventilation in the postoperative period. The pathologic study of pleural layers removed during operations has shown that prolonged therapy of tuberculous empyemas with non-specific chemical drugs fails to eliminate morphological signs of the specific process in the pleural layers.
