[Carbohydrate metabolism in long treated children and adolescents with respiratory tuberculosis].
Carbohydrate metabolism was studied in 53 children and adolescents long treated for respiratory tuberculosis with preserving signs of its progression. The blood levels of cortisole, thyroxine, triiodothyronine were concurrently measured. Glucose tolerance impairments by the hypoglycemic type was found in 32.3 of the children and in 27.3% of the adolescents after long-term treatment for respiratory tuberculosis. Moreover, there was an increase (or an increasing trend) in the fasting plasma concentration of immunoreactive insulin. Latent carbohydrate metabolic disturbances are attended by high and low blood levels of cortisole and triiodothyronine, respectively.
