  • Title: Modern Collapse Therapy for Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
    Author: Krasnov DV, Skluev SV, Petrova YK, Skvortsov DA, Krasnov VA, Felker IG, Grischenko N.
    Journal: Thorac Surg Clin; 2019 Feb; 29(1):47-58. PubMed ID: 30454921.
    Abstract:
    Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), extensively drug-resistant TB, and TB-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection require a special approach in anti-TB treatment. Most patients cannot be successfully cured by conventional chemotherapy alone. They need a modern approach using minimally invasive therapeutic and surgical techniques. The novel approaches of collapse therapy techniques and minimally invasive osteoplastic thoracoplasty increase the effectiveness of complex anti-TB therapy. Achieving the required selective collapse of lung tissue in destructive pulmonary TB, especially in cases of drug resistance and/or HIV coinfection, leads to bacteriologic conversion, cavity closure, and successful cure.
