title: [Changes in respiratory mechanics in post-tuberculosis emphysema and pneumosclerosis].
abstract: The mechanics of breathing was studied in 457 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The restrictive mechanism of lowering the ventilation reserves was essential in sclerotic changes in the lower lung. Obstructive changes increased with the extent of pneumosclerosis. X-ray emphysematous changes were confirmed by functional diagnostic findings. The elastic properties of the lung were of the greatest value. Functional diagnosis is important in making clear the clinical and X-ray symptoms of pneumosclerosis and emphysema.
