47 patients were involved in the research. The use of immune response modifier glucosaminilmuramilpentapeptide (LIASTEN) along with the antimycobacterial therapy resulted in speeding up abacillation in (1.7±0.2) months, dispersion of focal abnormalities and infiltration in (1.5±0.1) months and the cicatrization of destruction cavities in (1.6±0.1) months as compared to the previous indicators. It should be noted that the average treatment duration during the intensive phase might be reduced by (1.9±0.3) months.
