title: [Endogenous reactivation of tuberculosis as a result of reversion of persistent mycobacterial L-forms].
abstract: Detection of L-transformed variants of M. tuberculosis and the study of qualitative-quantitative characteristics of isolated mycobacterial population provided additional information to available clinical x-ray evidence on the followed up patients. This allows more accurate estimation of reactivation risk, indications to chemotherapy and correction of follow-up policy.
