THE CLINICAL AND X-RAY FEATURES OF PULMONARYMYCOBACTERIOSIS
The morbidity rate of pulmonary mycobacteriosis is growing in the Republic of Belarus, which requires the study of the disease aimed at the improvement of the diagnostics, treatment and regular medical check-up of patients. We retrospectively studied 62 cases of pulmonary mycobacteriosis in patients observed in 2010-2016. It has been found that non-specificity of the clinical and roentgenological picture of mycobacterioses leads to diagnostic difficulties. The most reliable verifying method is multiple detecting and identification of non-tuberculous mycobacteria by cultivation. The etiotropic treatment of the patients must be provided taking into account the individual sensitivity of an agent to antibacterial medicinal drugs.
