Dynamics of Endogenous Intoxication Parameters in Multidrug-Resistant Destructive Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Abstract

Tuberculosis belongs to interleukin-dependent immunodeficiency infectious diseases which are accompanied by systemic inflammatory response syndrome with pronounced endogenous intoxication, i.e. accumulation in the body of final and intermediate products of metabolism due to metabolic disorders at formation of specific inflammatory response. Massive production and the further resorption of pulmonary tissue cavernisation products, cytotoxic hypoxia, violation of intracellular homeostasis, immunocytokine and hormonal imbalance are the main ways of endogenous intoxication formation in tuberculosis. The purpose of the study included the evaluation of endogenous intoxication indicators in patients with multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis with destructive changes depending on the profile of resistance of mycobacteria and determination of their role in the development of systemic inflammatory response.
