Characteristics of respiratory tuberculosis with concurrent conjunctive tissue dysplasia

Abstract

The specific features of respiratory tuberculosis with concurrent conjunctive tissue dysplasia have been studied in 308 patients. Conjunctive tissue dysplasia was found in 69.1% of patients basing on availability of phenotypic manifestations and X-ray signs of chest organs dysplasia. It has been found out that the course of pulmonary tuberculosis is more severe in those with conjunctive tissue dysplasia: only they have such clinical forms as caseous pneumonia, disseminated and miliary tuberculosis. Destruction was 2 fold higher and bacillary excretion was 2.5 fold higher in those suffering from conjunctive tissue dysplasia.Conjunctive tissue dysplasia is a risk factor of tuberculosis complications.
