Abstract
The objective: to evaluate effectiveness of treatment of infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis patients with exudative or productive types of the tissue inflammatory reaction when additional immunotherapy with recombinant IFN-γ is used.Subjects and Methods. 127 infiltrative tuberculosis patients were enrolled in the study, of them 66 had an exudative type of the inflammatory reaction (2 Groups OG-1 and GS-1 were formed), 61 had a proliferative type (2 Groups OG-2 and GS-2 were formed). Patients from OG-1 and OG-2 Groups additionally received different regimens with recombinant interferon-γ.Result: Comprehensive treatment of infiltrative tuberculosis including intramuscular administration (according to a certain regimen) of recombinant IFN-γ contributes to achievement of pronounced positive changes of clinical and radiological symptoms in patients with both exudative and productive types of the tissue inflammatory reaction. In the groups treated with recombinant IFN-γ, restoration of the cellular immune response, cellular cooperation, normalization of the cytokine profile and increased phagocytosis activity were confirmed by the results of laboratory tests.
