title: [Mechanisms of endotoxicosis in pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The intensity of a specific inflammatory process in pulmonary tuberculosis causes an increase the body's tissue proteolytic activity, which is followed by an elevation the blood levels of the toxic products of incomplete proteolysis (medium molecular-weight peptides) and induces the endogenous intoxication syndrome. The severity of endotoxicosis is also characterized by less life of paramecia and higher leukocytic intoxication index.
