title: [Intravenous chemotherapy and galvanization of damaged lung regions in patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The results of a combined treatment of 179 patients with newly diagnosed destructive pulmonary tuberculosis are presented. Patients of the main group (89 subjects) were given intermittent intravenous chemotherapy with simultaneous galvanization of the affected pulmonary zone, while patients of the control group (90 subjects) received the same treatment but without galvanization. In pulmonary tuberculosis patients who had undergone intracutaneous electrophoresis, the body temperature normalized significantly more rapidly (within 2.2 +/- 0.2 weeks), weakness and weakness disappeared (within 1.2 +/- 0.2 months) and cough ceased (1.6 +/- 0.2 months); sputum expectoration disappeared or substantially reduced (within 1.5 +/- 0.1 months); leukocytosis came to an end (within 1.5 +/- 0.1 months). The basic parameters of a spirogram improved in a shorter period and to a greater degree. Bacillary excretion ceased more rapidly (within 2.2 +/- 0.4 months), so did the infiltrative phenomena resolute (within 3.0 +/- 0.1 months) and pulmonary destructive changes disappear (within 3.3 +/- 0.2 months).
