title: [Use of data bank on tuberculosis patients and of computer program for clinical and immunological analysis].
abstract: Three hundred and twenty patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were clinically and immunologically compared. The findings support the significance and prospects for using a personal computer while making clinical and laboratory comparisons in different groups of patients for a prompt and objective analysis of available data. Comparative evaluation of the informative value of immunologic tests have indicated that in relation to the major clinical parameters of a tuberculous process, differences are great in those characterizing both T- and B-cell, and specific antimycobacterial immunity. The clinical and immunological findings regarding the specific features of a tuberculosis process may serve as the basis for multidimensional analysis and development of criteria for computer-aided clinical and immunological diagnosis of tuberculosis.
