The paper presents a historical review of the literature on the rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis--gastric tuberculosis. It is more frequently associated with tuberculosis of other organs and observes as an isolated form. The disease has no specific clinical signs. It is diagnosed as gastric carcinoma or ulcer by X-ray and in most cases endoscopic studies. The diagnosis of gastric tuberculosis can be made only by histological study of the resected stomach or its biopsy specimen. Antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis yields a good effect.
Two hundred and fifteen patients with pulmonary involvement of lobar (regional, segmental) extent were examined. The examination procedure included clinical and laboratory tests, X-ray tomographic study, and computed tomography, bronchoscopy with biopsy, cyto- and histological studies. The nosological diagnosis was established in 96.5% of cases. Differential diagnosis was found to be difficult in 3.5% of cases.
The trend to aggravated running and contribution of air pollution of large industrial centers with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to tuberculosis onset and progress dictate the necessity of the search for new treatment methods. The authors made an attempt to treat experimental tuberculosis with sodium glutamate and isoniazide under chronic exposure to PAH dust. Sodium glutamate especially in combination with isoniazide produces a good effect enhancing granulomatous reactions fibroplastic processes in the foci of specific inflammation. Sodium glutamate is thought an effective pathogenetic treatment of tuberculosis.
