[Complex influence of chemo- and ozonotherapy on the immunity of patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis]
Abstract:
The impact of standardized antimycobacterial treatment versus a complex combination of chemo- and ozonotherapy on the T and B links and specific antituberculous immunity was studied in patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. A course of ozonotherapy was performed in the early intensive phase of antimycobacterial therapy via endovascular injection of ozonized 0.9% NaCl solution. Ozonotherapy used in the early intensive phase of the standardized treatment in patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis results in normalization of the count of tuberculin-sensitized T cells and the number of PPD-L proliferating lymphocytes, promotes decreased tuberculin sensitivity, accelerates normalization of humoral immunity (IgM, IgE), and activates the proliferative capacity of T cells in the early periods.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...

Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
