[Tuberculosis in the HIV-infected: early detection and prevention].

Tuberculosis in the HIV infected becomes an urgent problem the phthisiologists of Saint Petersburg face. The test using tuberculin in a dose of 2 TE remains the most informative method for determining Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) infection in HIV-affected persons. It is a more information method than the Mantoux reaction using 5 TE. The diagnostic value of enzyme immunoassay employing tuberculous antigen is low in the persons infected MBT and HIV. There is evidence for the effectiveness of prophylactic double (isonizid and ethambutol) component courses against the development of tuberculosis for those infected with MBT and HIV.

[Immediate and late results of the surgical treatment of patients with post-tuberculosis cavities].

Examination of lung sections from patients with residual posttuberculous cavities not discharging tubercle bacilli for long periods revealed latent bacterial lesions of cavern wall tissues and active specific processes in 73.6 and 92.1 per cent of the cases respectively. Bacteriological investigation of the resected lungs revealed no significant advantages of the tuberculostatic therapy with using rifadin at various stages for 2-4-month courses in comparison to the therapy without rifadin. The immediate results of the surgical treatment were indicative of its high efficiency; closing of destructive cavities, low numbers of postoperative complications which could be easily corrected. At late observation periods the surgical treatment provided more reliable rehabilitation.
