[Effect of chemotherapy combined with the use of tissue preparations on nonspecific immunity in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].

General and local nonspecific immunity was studied in 143 new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis (71 and 72 persons, respectively). The results showed that combination of chemotherapy using desensitizing agents and tissue preparations according to V. P. Filatov (a suspension of placenta tissue and aloe) had an immunomodulating effect. The efficacy of the combined chemotherapy amounted to 87 per cent with an account of the general immunity status.
