title: [Specific features of diagnosis and treatment of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis and tuberculosis].
abstract: In the past 30 years, the authors examined and treated 6473 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, of them 105 (1.6%) had contacted with the individuals isolating Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 45 (0.7%) had a history of various forms of pulmonary tuberculosis; however, the patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis had neither exacerbations nor relapses. Of the 6473 patients, 41 (0.63%) was diagnosed as having active pulmonary tuberculosis, including 20 with focal pulmonary tuberculosis, 13 with disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis, 4 pulmonary tuberculosis with infiltrative, and other 4 with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis, disseminated and destructive pulmonary tuberculosis occurred in the progressive pulmonary sarcoidosis. The etiopathogenetic treatment of tuberculosis with at least 3-4 drugs (small-dose hormones, antioxidants, immunomodulators) was found to cure the two abnormalities in 95.2% and in 4.8% of cases, the pathological process became chronic when limited disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis was concurrent with disseminated pulmonary sarcoidosis.
