title: [Pulmonary elastic pressure as an indicator of lung tissue morpho-functional restructure].
abstract: The examination of 100 patients with tuberculosis and exogenous allergic alveolitis showed it expedient to study pulmonary elastic pressure in patients without or with or X-ray signs of pneumosclerosis and pulmonary emphysema. Its exploration could diagnose initial (pre-X-ray) manifestations of pneumosclerosis and pulmonary emphysema in the former patients and specify the extent and relatively significant manifestations of these abnormalities at the subsequent (X-ray detected) stages in the others.
