title: [Tactivin in combined treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis associated with gastrointestinal diseases].
abstract: Tactivin was tried in combined therapy of 49 new-onset cases with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis and gastrointestinal lesions. 52 controls received antibacterial drugs alone. Tactivin increased T-lymphocyte count and improved their subpopulations proportion in a shorter period of time. Immunochemotherapy contributed to efficacy of the main and associated disease treatment. Healing of the destruction foci occurred in 87% versus 70% in controls, side effects of antibacterial drugs and exacerbations of gastrointestinal diseases arose 2-2.5 times less frequently.
