[A clinical assessment of the detoxifying effect of enterosorption in treating tuberculosis of the respiratory organs in children]. / Klinichna otsina detoksykatsiinoho efektu enterosorbtsiï pry likuvanni tuberkul'ozu orhaniv dykhannia u ditei.

Effects were studied of a complex treatment combined with enterosorption on the clinical course of tuberculosis of the respiratory organs in children. The results obtained showed that the use of enterosorbents "Carbolong" or "Carbosfer" against the background of the chemotherapy adopted leads to a significant shortening of periods of detoxication, which fact is manifested by a quicker and more marked positive dynamics of intoxicative symptomatology by comparison with those patients having received a conventional course of chemotherapy only. In a comparative evaluation of the natural enterosorbent Carbolong versus synthetic enterosorbent Carbosfer they were shown to be of similar therapeutic activity.

[Scanning electron microscopy in the assessment of erythrocyte shape in peripheral blood of patients with anthracotic tuberculosis and pulmonary tuberculosis]. / Rastvovaia élektronnaia mikroskopiia v otsenke konfiguratsii éritrotsitov perifericheskoi krovi bol'nykh koniotuberkulezom i tuberkulezom legkikh.

Morphology of peripheral blood red cells was investigated in the course of enterosorption in patients with anthracotic and lung tuberculosis by means of scanning electron microscopy. Application of enterosorbent noticeably reduced the number of normocytes, this evidencing stimulating effect of detoxication. The proportion of deformed red cells lowered in parallel to inhibiting activity of tuberculous process activity in the lungs as a result of detoxicating effect of the treatment.
