    Author: Batian AN, Abramovskaia AK, Batian ON.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1991; (7):60-2. PubMed ID: 1754594.
    Abstract:
    Data are given related to a combined examination of 168 pulmonary tuberculosis patients in whom immunomodulating T-activin and levamisole chemotherapy was carried out in 40 subjects. In tuberculosis patients with significantly abnormal parameters of the immunity T-system, side effects of the antituberculosis drugs developed in 67.7%, while in those who were subjected to a general scheme of treatment with inclusion of the immunomodulating drugs in only 17.5%. T-activin was found to be highly effective in preventing side effects of the antituberculosis drugs. A diverse influence of the immunity modulating drugs on some T-lymphocyte classes was registered, which is essential in choosing the suitable modulator and regimen of its use.
