Nutritional support for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis: analysis of the enteral nutrition market

The relevance of the work is due to the need to resolve frequently occurring malnutrition in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis through nutritional support. The objectives of the study included studying the importance of nutritional support in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, as well as analyzing enteral nutrition mixtures available on the market, determining their component composition and the feasibility of using a certain type of mixture for this category of patients. The work used the methods of semantic analysis and “text mining” to summarize the data of scientific publications posted in the scientometric databases Pubmed, Web of Science, eLIBRARY on nutritional support for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Based on the results of the literature review, enteral nutrition mixtures with a high protein component are recommended for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, aimed at stopping protein-energy deficiency. The presented review substantiates the importance of nutritional support in severe forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, describes the high-protein mixtures for enteral nutrition available on the market, and presents the domestic mixture GASTROAUXILLIUM, developed on the basis of the Scientific and Production Center for Healthy Nutrition Technologies of the Saratov State Medical University named after V. I. Razumovsky, which surpasses the existing imported analogs in component composition and production technology.
