title: [The use of plasmapheresis in treating the broncho-obstructive syndrome in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Examination included 81 patients with the broncho-obstructive syndrome, which in 45 patients was combined with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Plasmapheresis was used in 43 patients. Treatment proved to be effective in patients suffering from bronchial asthma who underwent plasmapheresis; attacks fully discontinued in 70.9 x 8.15 patients. Plasmapheresis had no unfavourable influence on the specific process, it promoted fuller restoration of external respiration parameters and reduction of the level of acute-phase proteins.
