title: [Use of inhalation of ultrasonic aerosols and galvanic current in the treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Multimodality treatment of 83 patients with newly detected destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis included the use of inhalation of isoniazid and streptomycin in ultrasonic aerosols in combination with galvanic current. This method was well tolerated by the patients, inhalation agents showed high efficacy: elimination of bacteria and disintegration cavity closing in most of the patients occurred in the first 4 months, i. e. by the end of a course of inhalation therapy. The incorporation of rifampicin in the therapeutic scheme did not result in the improvement of therapeutic results but increased the frequency of side effects (toxic and hepatotoxic). The time course of radionuclide scanning showed that the improvement of the capillary blood flow was more frequently observed in therapy with galvanic current.
