[Pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with mental disorders, drug addiction and substance abuse].

The clinical manifestations, course and outcomes of pulmonary tuberculosis were studied in 215 patients with concurrent severe mental diseases (112 had schizophrenia and 103 other organic diseases of the central nervous system). The patients had mainly disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis with copious bacilli excretion and destruction. Their clinical manifestations and the course of a specific process were mainly progressive. Fatal outcomes were most common in tuberculosis patients with concurrent drug addiction and toxicomania. It is recommended that patients with mental diseases, narcomania and toxicomania should undergo a prophylactic fluorographic screening twice a year. Treatment of patients with tuberculosis and concurrent mental diseases should be combined and carried out by a psychiatrist (narcologist) jointly with a phthisiatrist.

[Improving the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis among the inmates of reformatory institutions of the Ministry of Home Affairs].

According to the data given by the authors, the tuberculosis morbidity rate in the populations under surveillance of the Ministry of Home Affairs was over that in the general population. High morbidity of such persons is often contributed to their antisocial way of life, and alcohol and drug addiction. Full coverage of these groups by means of X-ray screening, when they are held prisoners during the investigation period, makes it possible to detect all cases with active tuberculosis, to prevent the admission of undetected patients to the reformatory schools and thereby to stop the transmission of tuberculous infection. The observations should be conducted twice a year since these imprisoned groups may be recognized as being at high risk for tuberculosis. The clinical pattern of pulmonary tuberculosis is unfavorable in the convicted persons. Appropriate three-stage chemotherapy with the use of surgical interventions, if indicated permits one to achieve in the reformatory institutions of the Ministry of Home Affairs a high efficacy of treatment of ++newly-diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients, which concurrently significantly decreases their epidemic danger for the general population when they are let free.

[Incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis associated with chronic alcoholism and a complex treatment of those diseases].

It was shown that the prevalence of alcoholism among pulmonary tuberculosis patients was high and the outcomes of both the diseases proceeding in the presence of lowered immunity were often unfavourable, including the results of long-term follow-ups. The use of a specially constructed instrument for investigating the neurodynamic characteristics of the cerebral cortex and determination of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in the serum promoted diagnosis of prenosological entities of alcoholism. Higher efficacy of alcoholism treatment in the patients with tuberculosis was achieved with narcotic psychotherapy using the mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, esperal implantation and application of rifusal, a new preparation, as well as application of extracorporeal hemosorption and enterosorption for eliminating the intoxication. Higher efficacy of tuberculosis treatment in the alcoholic patients was achieved with intravenous drop-wise infusion of antituberculous drugs along with other routes of administration. For increasing the cellular immunity, the patients were treated with chlorophylliptum or T-activin. Continuation of the complex antialcoholic and antituberculous treatment of outpatients along with simultaneous observation by phthisiologists and narcologists provided higher results.
