title: [Differential diagnosis of acute atypical pneumonias and active pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Nonspecific reactivity was assessed by the quantity of middle-mass molecules (MMM) and specific antibody formation in patients with acute pneumonias and active pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculous patients demonstrated a rise in the number of MMM in the plasma, serum, red cell membranes both in the total pool and in the oligopeptide fraction; higher plasmic toxemia, red cell and blood intoxication indices, blood toxemia rate. Antibody formation was more active in tuberculous patients.
