[Morphological features of fibro-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis according to the surgical material].
The lungs and bronchopulmonary lymph nodes were studied in 203 patients aged 20-60 years operated for fibrocavernous tuberculosis. Histological, immunohistochemical and histoenzymological tests demonstrated that clinically diagnosed fibrocavernous tuberculosis comprises a heterogenous group. Specific alterations in the lymph nodes indicate progression of primary tuberculosis while the absence of such alterations is the sign of real fibro-cavernous tuberculosis.
