[Effectiveness of using external laser irradiation in the complex treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with concomitant bronchial obstruction syndrome].
External laser radiation (ELP) (18-20 daily procedures) was used together with chemotherapy in the combined treatment of 53 patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis characterized by delayed dynamics of the process and concurrent obstructive bronchial syndrome. ELR promoted acceleration of the process dynamics, closure of disintegration cavities and alleviation of bronchial obstruction phenomena. The mechanisms of a favourable ELR action were essentially due to the reduction of basal oxidative metabolism and enhancement of defensive reaction during contact with a specific pathogen in phagocytes, which was confirmed by the recorded results of the spontaneous and stimulated by the killed BCG culture NST rest in peripheral neutrophils and monocytes.
