title: [Incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis associated with chronic alcoholism and a complex treatment of those diseases].
abstract: It was shown that the prevalence of alcoholism among pulmonary tuberculosis patients was high and the outcomes of both the diseases proceeding in the presence of lowered immunity were often unfavourable, including the results of long-term follow-ups. The use of a specially constructed instrument for investigating the neurodynamic characteristics of the cerebral cortex and determination of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in the serum promoted diagnosis of prenosological entities of alcoholism. Higher efficacy of alcoholism treatment in the patients with tuberculosis was achieved with narcotic psychotherapy using the mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, esperal implantation and application of rifusal, a new preparation, as well as application of extracorporeal hemosorption and enterosorption for eliminating the intoxication. Higher efficacy of tuberculosis treatment in the alcoholic patients was achieved with intravenous drop-wise infusion of antituberculous drugs along with other routes of administration. For increasing the cellular immunity, the patients were treated with chlorophylliptum or T-activin. Continuation of the complex antialcoholic and antituberculous treatment of outpatients along with simultaneous observation by phthisiologists and narcologists provided higher results.
