title: [Anatomic features of the structure of lobar and segmental bronchi in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Digital videotape recording was done in 81 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis involving the upper lobe of one of the lungs during bronchoscopy. Video filming was used to measure the cross-section area of the ostia of all segmental bronchi of the intact and affected lung. The findings suggest that there is some increase in the mean values of the cross-section area of the ostia of the bronchi draining the affected lobe as compared with the similar parameters in patients in whom this lung is intact. The endoscopic signs of diffuse atrophic endobronchitis are also more significantly frequently detected on the ipsilateral side of the involvement.
