[Sonoluminiscence of blood plasma in the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis, cancer and sarcoidosis of the lungs].

Sonoluminescent parameters of plasma obtained from 124 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, 57 patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis and 39 pulmonary cancer patients were found different. The authors propose to use the standard integral index of sonoluminescence which proved significantly different. Utilization of DIS-1 apparatus appeared by 23-29% more efficient as it induced more intensive luminescence yet noted.
