[Morphological changes in the liver of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis--carriers of hepatitis B virus]

Findings of morphologic studies of the liver bioptic material taken from 42 patients with different forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, hosts of Hbs-antigen, are described. It appears that marked dystrophic, inflammatory and necrotic changes occur in patients of this category, which should be taken into account when etiotropic and pathogenetic therapy is chosen.
