  • Title: [Hydrolysis and absorption of carbohydrates and correction of their disorders in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
    Author: Grishchuk LA.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1990; (3):22-5. PubMed ID: 2195539.
    Abstract:
    Characteristic features of hydrolysis and carbohydrate absorption in 106 newly-diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients were studied by means of a combined carbohydrate load method. Certain ways of treating the disturbances were tested. It was found that in 60% of the cases with an active pulmonary tuberculosis and with symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases, there were disturbed processes of hydrolysis and carbohydrate absorption. A long-term administration of antituberculous drugs affects hydrolysis and carbohydrate absorption in the small intestine. A chemotherapeutic regimen supplemented with insulin, glucocorticoids, and folic acid, in particular, leads to the improvement of hydrolysis and carbohydrate absorption in pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
