[The status of the external respiratory function in patients with tuberculosis of the lungs and pre-roentgenologic pneumoconiosis changes].

The ventilation function was studied in 103 pulmonary tuberculosis patients of pneumoconiosis-risk occupations in the absence of pneumoconiosis and in 51 patients who were not exposed to dust. Patients of "dust" occupations were found to have a decrease in the parameters of external respiration and bronchoscopic findings more often showed chronic bronchitis. The initial signs of pneumoconiosis were revealed in the histological examination of surgically removed lung segments in 83.4% of the patients.

[Effectiveness of treatment and working ability disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis patients, working at enterprises, hazardous for developing pneumoconiosis].

The outcomes of treatment of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis in 62 patients of "dust" occupations and 82 individuals unexposed to dust were studied. All the patients were treated with antituberculous drugs for, on average, 162.9 +/- 3.25 days in a hospital. The analysis of long-term results of their treatment revealed that those with "dusty" occupations had an unfavourable course of the specific process and developed complications and relapses of the disease as their length of service in the quartz-containing dusty environment increased. The death of the patients in the main group was frequently caused by a progressive course of destructive tuberculosis.
