[Echocardiographic evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis in adolescent and young patients].
Echo ranging and perfusion scintigraphy were performed in 52 adolescents and young subjects with new-onset pulmonary tuberculosis. At admission, enhanced myocardial echo resonance was observed in 19.2% of patients. This percentage increased to 33.9% at the end of the main treatment course. Systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery above 25 mm Hg was recorded in 44.2% of patients. The majority of them had disseminated tuberculosis and lymphatic intrathoracic disease. Pericardial inflammation developed in 23.1%, pericarditis in 9.6% of the examinees.
