[Outcomes of treatment in new cases of infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis, prediction of the risk for its relapse].
Infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis has been a major form in the structure of respiratory tuberculosis morbidity for many years. The present investigation has provided the data suggesting the preservation of tuberculous activity within 3 years after completion of an adequate basic course of therapy--complete resolution of specific changes in almost every three patients and a two-fold reduction in the proportion of major residual posttuberculous changes. Prognostic criteria for the progression of a tuberculous process and for the formation of major residual changes were established, which were used to develop an algorithm for determining the individual degree of a relapse risk in each cured patient, which made it possible to optimize the periods of a follow-up.
