[Nonspecific lung diseases in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (issues of their prevalence, diagnosis and treatment)]

The paper gives data on the prevalence of nonspecific lung disease in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, the specific features of diagnosis and treatment of their concomitance in 3453 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. It shows the low detection rate of nonspecific lung diseases in patients with pulmonary diseases. The high error rate has been established in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis at health care facilities. There is evidence that the use of current therapy for bronchial obstructive syndrome with inhaled cholinolytics and beta2-agonists in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis causes a reduction in the intensity of respiratory symptoms and an increase in forced expiratory volume in one second.
