[Pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with mental disorders, drug addiction and substance abuse].
The clinical manifestations, course and outcomes of pulmonary tuberculosis were studied in 215 patients with concurrent severe mental diseases (112 had schizophrenia and 103 other organic diseases of the central nervous system). The patients had mainly disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis with copious bacilli excretion and destruction. Their clinical manifestations and the course of a specific process were mainly progressive. Fatal outcomes were most common in tuberculosis patients with concurrent drug addiction and toxicomania. It is recommended that patients with mental diseases, narcomania and toxicomania should undergo a prophylactic fluorographic screening twice a year. Treatment of patients with tuberculosis and concurrent mental diseases should be combined and carried out by a psychiatrist (narcologist) jointly with a phthisiatrist.
