title: [Glutoxim in the surgical treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Surgery results in the development of secondary immunodeficiency associated with inhibition of the phagocytic bactericidal systems, leading to postoperative complications. Glutoxim, a representative of thiopoietins, was used to reduce the number of postoperative complications. Twenty-nine patients with pulmonary tuberculosis received glutoxim therapy (a study group). A control group comprised 25 patients. A course of glutoxim therapy was 35 days; the daily dose was 60 mg. Postoperative complications (tuberculous pleural empyema with bronchopleural fistula, progressive tuberculosis, nonspecific pneumonias) developed in 2 (6.9%) study group patients and in 8 (32%) control ones (p < 0.05). The inclusion ofglutoxim into complex preoperative preparation and its postoperative use cause a significant reduction in postoperative complications.
