DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR RESPIRATORY SARCOIDOSIS AND TUBERCULOSIS IN MALES

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention represents a differential diagnostic technique for respiratory sarcoidosis and tuberculosis in males by biological fluid analysis; the technique involves measuring an amount of progesterone in the primary examination, and determining a probability coefficient P by formulawherein P is the probability coefficient showing if a binary response takes on a value of 1; e is a base of the natural logarithm equal to approximately 2.718282; 3.243942 is a shifting coefficient that we have obtained; (-0.8692291) is a slope coefficient that we have obtained; X1 is the progesterone level in the specific patient, nmole/l; if P is more than 0.61, the patient is referred to a group of those suffering from active tuberculosis; if P is below 0.61 - to the group of patients suffering from respiratory sarcoidosis.EFFECT: more reliable and objective diagnosis for the purpose of prescribing timely treatment and carrying out the adequate complex of therapeutic measures, simplifying the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis and respiratory sarcoidosis.2 ex
