[Clinical manifestations and specific features of the course of adenogenic tuberculosis in adults].
The paper analyzes the clinical manifestations of adenogenic tuberculosis, the methods of its diagnosis and treatment in 44 patients (15 males and 29 females) aged 18 to 75 years. The signs of an active tuberculous process were identified in the bronchus and lung of 33 patients and the remaining patients had posttuberculous adaptogenic changes. A bronchological study revealed infiltrative bronchial tuberculosis in 15 patients, bronchial fistula in 4, inflammatory and cicatrical stenoses in 22, broncholiths in 2, and nonspecific bronchitis in 5. The patients with specific active changes received antituberculous chemotherapy with 4 drugs; those with nonspecific lesions had antirecurrent chemotherapy and, in case of an exacerbation of nonspecific recurrent pneumonias and chronic bronchitis, used antibiotics mainly as inhalants.
