[SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR DESTRUCTIVE PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS IN FIRST DETECTED PATIENTS]
Abstract:
The efficiency of complex treatment for destructive pulmonary tuberculosis by surgery was analyzed on 2 groups of the Russian Federation's subjects selected by ranking results. The use of surgical interventions in the complex treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with decay cavities was shown to enhance its efficiency and to promote the prevention of infection spread. This resulted in a reduction in the proportion of patients with destructive tuberculosis among the first detected patients, in the contingents of patients with chronic tuberculosis, and in the proportion of patients detected from their referrals to medical institutions.

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.
