  • Title: [Quantitative and qualitative characteristics of bacterial excretion in socially maladapted patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and outcomes of the process].
    Author: Bondin SV.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1992; (3-4):51-3. PubMed ID: 1528836.
    Abstract:
    A clinico-bacteriologic examination comprised 103 patients with destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis who excreted the bacterial and L-forms of M. tuberculosis. Patients were divided into two groups depending on their social adaptation. Group I included 66 patients with asocial behaviour, group 11-37 patients whose way of life was normal. Patients of group I exhibited copious excretion of M. tuberculosis and L-forms with a high degree drug resistance and multiresistance of M. tuberculosis to antituberculous preparations. Patients of group I had progress of the tuberculosis process with fatal outcomes 4.2 times more frequently.
