    Abstract:
    To study typical disorders in the external respiration function of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis without concurrent bronchial obstruction and to find out an information potential of the roentgeno-pneumo-polygraphic+ (RPPG) method in detecting local obstructive disturbances, 53 subjects aged from 23 to 52 years with respiratory tuberculosis, including 38 and 15 of them with a limited or disseminated process, respectively, were examined. X-ray functional examination conducted in dynamics and with the use of physical load and bronchodilators made in possible to discover both local and disseminated occult bronchial obstruction. Application of RPPG method and administration of such bronchodilator, as berotec, revealed a functional nature of the bronchial obstruction. According to RPPG data. In a lingering tuberculous process a costal component is predominant in the course of respiration.
