[INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION TO THE FIRSTLY DIAGNOSED LUNG TUBERCULOSIS AND TREATMENT EFFICIENCY]

The study of the clinical and laboratory dynamics after an intensive phase of treatment in patients with firstly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (FDTB) with alcohol consumption, and the development of a method for predicting the effectiveness of treatment. Examined 109 men with FDTB aged 20 to 50 years. Depending on the level of alcohol consumption, 3 groups of patients were formed. Patients of each group divided into two subgroups depending on the treatment regimen. The highest response to antioxidant therapy had indicators of phagocytic and enzymatic activity of neutrophils and endogenous intoxication. The dynamics of a decrease in all indicators of oxidative stress in groups 1 and 2 was higher in patients who additionally received antioxidants. The positive effects of group 3 was less. The models of prediction the positive dynamics level in the treatment of patients depending on the scheme therapy received have been developed. Predictors of treatment efficacy for patients with FDTB and alcohol intake with standard therapy are baseline alcohol consumption level, phagocytic index, and blood lymphocyte count. When prescribing antioxidants to a standard therapy regimen - initial level of alcohol consumption and phagocytic number. The degree of alcohol consumption is a common determinant of treatment effectiveness, regardless of treatment regimen.
