To clarify the role of M. tuberculosis L-form in a recurring tuberculous process in subjects with residual tuberculous changes in the lungs, microbiological, ++clinico-roentgenological and laboratory examinations of 1651 persons recorded as having VIIA, VIIB, III and 0 groups were undertaken. The causative agent of tuberculosis was isolated in a typical bacillary and L-transformed forms in 3.1 and 5.0% of the screened persons, respectively. Active respiratory tuberculosis was diagnosed in 64.7% of sputum-positive patients, including 86.3% of them as bacillary carriers and 42.7% of those excreting L-forms of the tuberculosis agent. The detection of biologically altered forms of the causative agent indicates a potential activity of the process and requires an intensified medical examination control and differential prevention activities.
为阐明结核分枝杆菌L型在肺部有残留结核病变的患者反复发生结核过程中的作用，对记录为VIIA、VIIB、III和0组的1651人进行了微生物学、临床X线学和实验室检查。在分别3.1%和5.0%的受检者中，以典型杆菌形式和L型转化形式分离出结核病原体。在64.7%的痰阳性患者中诊断出活动性呼吸道结核，其中86.3%为杆菌携带者，42.7%为排出结核病原体L型的患者。病原体生物学改变形式的检测表明该过程具有潜在活性，需要加强医学检查控制和进行有针对性的预防活动。
