The authors examined 85 patients with intrathoracic tuberculosis in whom the tuberculous process had been complicated by tuberculosis of the bronchi with their developed obstruction and as a result of atelectasis. Then the atelectasis-affected area became fibrotic. It was found that with the developed atelectasis, there was a persistent cession of bacterial isolation occurred, closure of decay cavities in the lung tissue, resolution of fresh focal and infiltrative changes. The presence of scarring bronchial stenosis and fibrotic atelectasis suggests of a full clinical recovery from intrathoracic tuberculosis.
作者检查了85例胸内结核患者，这些患者的结核病变合并支气管结核，并伴有支气管阻塞，进而导致肺不张。随后，受肺不张影响的区域发生纤维化。研究发现，随着肺不张的发展，细菌分离持续停止，肺组织中的空洞闭合，新鲜的局灶性和浸润性病变消退。瘢痕性支气管狭窄和纤维化肺不张的存在提示胸内结核已完全临床治愈。
