The efficiency of chemotherapy with immunomodulators for patients with destructive lung tuberculosis
Abstract:
Immunomodulators are to be prescribed to tuberculous patients in accordance with clinical and immunologic indices for 2 months. Taking into account that levamisol in dose 100 mg/24 hours is well tolerated by the patients and is as efficient as in the dose 150 mg/24 hours it is recommended to use this agent in dose 100 mg/24 hours three times a week. As it became evident from the clinical-roentgenologic, bacteriologic and immunologic data diuciphon is better tolerated by the patients and more efficient than levamisol.
