[Outcomes of surgical interventions in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis].
Thirty eight patients underwent surgery. The most significant causes of ineffective therapeutical measures in patients were their treatment incompetences (100%), multidrug resistance of Mycobacteria tuberculosis (47.3%), lung tissue destruction (68.4%), concomitant alcoholism (47.3%), relapses of specific lung damage (23.7%). If medical treatment is ineffective in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis for 6 months, it is expedient to make a surgical intervention that promotes recovery (96%) and restore working capacity (84%) in them.
