title: [Efficiency of supra-venous blood laser radiation used in the treatment of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis in adolescents].
abstract: In 19 of 40 adolescent patients with disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis, supravenous blood laser radiation was used in the complex treatment 2-3 weeks after the initiation of chemotherapy. The use of this type of laser therapy enhanced the efficiency of the treatment, accelerated positive changes of tuberculosis by 2.5-3.5 months, as evidenced by clinical and laboratory parameters, led to a smooth course of tuberculosis to develop less pronounced residual changes in the lung.
