[Effects of infrared laser irradiation on immunologic reactivity of patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis].

Influence of chemo- and laser therapy on the state of immunologic reactivity was studied in 38 patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis. It was found that the arsenide-gallium laser used in combined therapy of infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis produces an immune-stimulating action and has a favourable effect on the course and outcomes of the disease. Infra-red laser radiation produces most favourable effect when it is used two times.
