[Prognostic value of morphological signs of the activity of tuberculous inflammation in patients with circumscribed drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis].

The paper provides the morphological characteristics of a specific process in patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. Morphological study of intraoperative samples has shown a predominance of common active inflammatory changes in most cases. There is evidence for an association of the morphological activity of a tuberculous process with the clinical types and duration of the disease and their spectrum of drug resistance. The high morphological activity of specific inflammation (IV-V) substantially increases the risk of specific postoperative complications and relapses in the late follow-up periods.
