    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1998; (1):30-3. PubMed ID: 9553431.
    Abstract:
    Twenty nine patients with progressive pulmonary tuberculosis in the presence of diabetes mellitus were examined. Fifteen of them (a main group) had an additional course of intravenous dissolved ozone once 6-8 days (4 mg/ml per 400 ml of isotonic sodium chloride). By the end of month 2, 7 patients stopped massive bacterial expiration, which correlated with clinical improvement while a control group (n = 14) showed no clinical and laboratory changes. Following 3 months, 3 control patients stopped massive bacterial expiration. At month 6, 11 patients of the main group also did this, decay cavities became close in 8 patients while in the controls, these figures were 8 and 7, respectively. The use of systemic blood ozoning eliminated chemotherapy resistance and accelerated abacillation and healing in the decay cavities. The mechanism of action of dissolved ozone is discussed.
