[Lung resection in drug resistant tuberculosis patients].
Three and seventy-one case histories of patients operated on for different forms of pulmonary tuberculosis in whom their Mycobacteria tuberculosis (MT) were resistant to bactericidal drugs (BD) were analysed. Fibrocavenous or cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis was detected in most patients (73.3%). Various postoperative complications occurred in 20% of the patients operated on, in them empyema with bronchial fistula was stated in 6.5% of cases. The immediate outcomes of lung resections were satisfactory in 90% of patients and poor (progressive tuberculosis, uncorrected empyema) in 6%, mortality was 4%. Comparing these data with the outcomes of 6033 resections whose efficiency was 96.4% and mortality 1.4% leads to the conclusion that MT resistance to BD negatively affect the outcomes of resections.
