[Possibilities and prospects of intravascular irradiation of blood by helium-neon laser in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
The authors report a bacteriostatic effect of He-Ne laser irradiation on Tb growth. Endovascular blood irradiation used in 85 tuberculous patients induced no side effects. Ten-twelve sessions relieved the symptoms of tuberculosis-related intoxication, reduced the infiltration and destruction, promoted abacillosis. Laser irradiation holds promise in management of torpid infection and hepatotoxicity induced by isoniazid and rifampicin. The highest effect occurred in infiltrative tuberculosis.
