METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING DISSEMINATED PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS WITH MARKED SPECIFIC CELLULAR IMMUNITY INHIBITION

摘要

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining the number of ill cells in peripheral blood as response to lymphocyte stimulation with tuberculin and phytohemagglutinin. The number of blast blood cells before and at the sixth day after administering 20 TU of tuberculin. Concurrent increase in T-lymphocyte activity in lymphocyte blast transformation response to stimulation with tuberculin by 1.5% and more and to phytohemagglutinin by 4.0% and more being found to take place, disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosis is to be set. EFFECT: high accuracy and reliability of diagnosis.
