title: [The efficacy of postural therapy in patients with fresh and recurrent destructive pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Postural correction of regional pulmonary function increases markedly the treatment efficacy of patients with fresh destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. Practically all patients with an unburdened anamnesis showed abacillation and healing of the cavities under the effect of this treatment. Patients cured by this method showed no exacerbations and recurrences in the future as well as the development of cor pulmonale.
