[Atelectasis in the clinical picture of intrathoracic tuberculosis].
The authors examined 85 patients with intrathoracic tuberculosis in whom the tuberculous process had been complicated by tuberculosis of the bronchi with their developed obstruction and as a result of atelectasis. Then the atelectasis-affected area became fibrotic. It was found that with the developed atelectasis, there was a persistent cession of bacterial isolation occurred, closure of decay cavities in the lung tissue, resolution of fresh focal and infiltrative changes. The presence of scarring bronchial stenosis and fibrotic atelectasis suggests of a full clinical recovery from intrathoracic tuberculosis.
