title: [Detection rate of organochlorine pesticides and viral hepatitis B markers in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Three hundred and fifty six patients with active forms of pulmonary tuberculosis were studied for organochlorine pesticides (OCP) and viral hepatitis B markers (VHBM) in their body. A combination of OCP and VHBM was detected in 37.4%, 63.2 and 61.5% had OCP and VHBM, respectively. Detection rates for pesticides and VHBM were not related to the place of residence (town or village) or the clinical type of pulmonary tuberculosis. However, the blood levels of OCP were significantly higher in rural patients and in patients with advanced pulmonary tuberculosis than in urban patients and in patients with restrictive pulmonary tuberculosis.
