[EFFECT OF THE POLYENZYME DRUG WOBENZYM ON THE ACTIVITY OF A DESTRUCTIVE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS IN THE COMPLEX THERAPY
Abstract:
Ninety patients with new-onset pulmonary tuberculosis were examined prior to therapy The patients were randomized into 2 groups: 1) 20 patients receiving the standard antibiotic therapy regimen; 2) 70 patients taking the standard antibiotic therapy and the polyenzyme drug Wobenzym. The use of the latter in the complex therapy of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was shown to cause an increase in the activity of the destructive inflammatory process and to regulate the function of the immune system as compared with those during the standard therapy.

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.
