[Effect of ascorbic acid and emoxypine on the dynamics of the quantitative roentgenological and clinical semiology parameters during infiltrative tuberculosis of lungs].

Prospective, placebo-controlled randomized investigation has been performed to evaluate the effect of ascorbic acid and emoxypine on the dynamics of changes in the roentgenological and clinical pattern during infiltrative tuberculosis of lungs in comparison to the rate of Micobacterium tuberculosis eradication during the standard chemotherapy. The results show that it is expedient to include these substances in the standard chemotherapy scheme. The administration of ascorbic acid and emoxypine during the first 10 days of the standard schedule ensures accelerated resolution of tubercular infitrates and increased rate of closing of the tuberculous disintegration cavities. The use ofemoxypine accelerates the eradication of M. tuberculosis.
