[Capabilities of complex radiodiagnostic methods in risk-group children in primary tuberculosis infection].
Follow-ups of 39 children aged 3 to 12 years who had various biomedical risk factors of local forms of primary tuberculosis. Difficulties in diagnosing the local clinical forms of primary tuberculosis with minor clinical and X-ray signs are shown. The authors show it necessary to use of a package of clinical, laboratory, and radiation techniques, by applying computed tomography. The latter excluded minor primary tuberculosis in 15.3+/-6.2% of children and confirmed an active tuberculous process in 23+/-6.7%, and referred it as an incomplete regression phase in 10+/-4.8% and assigned residual changes of spontaneous cure of primary tuberculosis in 9 (23+/-6.7%). There was agreement of these conventional radiation studies and computed tomography in 11 (28.12+/-6.2%) children.
