Long-term results of phytotherapy of patients infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis

The situation on tuberculosis in the world, the Russian Federation, the Siberian Federal District, the Republic of Buryatia is still unfavorable. As a result of insufficient application of pathogenic agents in the treatment of tuberculosis, a number of relapses grow. The research is carried out on study the effects of preparations from medicinal plants on the course of tuberculosis, the efficiency of tuberculosis treatment. The low efficiency of treatment, high level of tuberculosis relapses require solution the problems aimed at the rise of the treatment efficiency, such as development and introduction of pathogenetic methods of treatment, aimed at the correction of inflammation pathology. A number of researches has proved a hepatoprotective effect of preparations from medicinal plants. However, their influence on the course of the tuberculosis process, the amount of residual changes and level of relapses are researched insufficiently. The analysis of the treatment efficiency depending on the prevalence and quality of early changes in the lung tissues shows that the treatment efficiency is higher in patients with the predominance of exudative phase of inflammation in the main group, treated with preparations from medicinal plants. The research of the long-term results shows that 3 years after the completion of the primary treatment the relapses have been detected in the main group patients - 4.3%, in the reference group - in 8.5% patients.
