[The comprehensive diagnosis and therapy of nonspecific bronchitis in patients with newly detected pulmonary tuberculosis].

160 patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis of new onset were examined in a tuberculosis hospital. All of them were suspected of being ill with nonspecific bronchial disease after a questionnaire screening. Nonspecific bronchitis was diagnosed in 102 (63.7%) of them. The authors provided the criteria assessing the degree and characteristics of the bronchial tree mucous inflammation by reading endocytopulmonograms. Antituberculosis therapy combined with inhalations (including immozymase) leads to a 13% rise in the efficacy of tuberculosis treatment (cavern closure) and to a 2.5-week reduction in the terms of nonspecific bronchitis cure.
