    Author: Burukhina LV, Malov VV, Patlusova ES.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1991; (1):25-6. PubMed ID: 2034612.
    Abstract:
    The outcomes of treatment of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis in 62 patients of "dust" occupations and 82 individuals unexposed to dust were studied. All the patients were treated with antituberculous drugs for, on average, 162.9 +/- 3.25 days in a hospital. The analysis of long-term results of their treatment revealed that those with "dusty" occupations had an unfavourable course of the specific process and developed complications and relapses of the disease as their length of service in the quartz-containing dusty environment increased. The death of the patients in the main group was frequently caused by a progressive course of destructive tuberculosis.
