[Combined use of the Koch tuberculin provocation test and immunological tests in patients with urinary tuberculosis]

This contributed to more accurate assessment of the tuberculous process activity in patients with advanced destruction of the kidneys. Quantitation of antituberculous antibodies may serve an additional criterium in evaluation of effectiveness of urological tuberculosis chemotherapy.
