DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR PNEUMONIA AND INFILTRATIVE PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: clinical and X-ray examinations of a patient suffering inflammatory pulmonary infiltrate are followed by the lipid release leukocyte ability (LRLA) analysis. If the LRLA values is less than or equal to 0.119 mmole/l, infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis is diagnosed, while the values more than 0.119 mmole/l - pneumonia. ^ EFFECT: use of the declared technique enables well-timed differential diagnostics of infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis and pneumonia, well-timed etiological therapy and reduced time of staying in hospital. ^ 3 ex
