title: [Prognostic value of isolation of L-forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis].
abstract: A procedure has been developed to detect antilysozymatic activity n L forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT). A mode of predicting the course of a tuberculosis process in the lungs by the degree of antilysozymatic activity of MBT is outlined. Thus, when the level is 4 micrograms/ml or higher, progression or exacerbation of tuberculosis is predicted, when that of 0-3 micrograms/ml, a good prognosis is expected.
