title: [Immunologic methods and their use for diagnosis in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The immunological survey of 1,688 patients with tuberculosis and 486 with non-specific pulmonary diseases was made. Criteria were identified for immunodiagnosis. The use of current mathematical methods of analysis allowed the development of high performance immunodiagnostic systems for pulmonary abnormalities, which included diagnostic tables and discriminant analysis by employing a computer. The major immunological disorders were determined, which in agreement with the definite direction of a tuberculous process with the subsequent use of data for monitoring the patient's status and correcting the treatment. The most potent immunocorrective drugs were studied, indications for their use were specified, proceeding from the immunological characterization of a specific patient. It was shown that the comprehensive assessment of various links of the immune system is of undoubtful value for the diagnosis and prediction of diseases, and prescription of immunocorrective therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis.
