title: [Characteristics of immunity in patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Parameters of systemic immunity, activity of cation proteins of neutrophilic granulocytes and individual blood serum proteins were studied in two groups of patients: with newly diagnosed (83) and chronic destructive pulmonary tuberculosis (105). Four levels of T-lymphocytes were established per their absolute content in 1 ul of the peripheral blood, which had different interconnection with cell response intensity to mitogenic PHA stimulation and the values of the lysosomal cation++ test in both groups of patients. Indications for the prescription of immune active preparations based upon the T-cell level and, when necessary, supplemented by information related to the values of BTR with PHA and BTR with PPD were developed for both groups of patients independently of hereditary consolidated serum proteins.
